Shit being alone on BH weekends

[Tempnamelady]

51, split from DH of 25 years last year. My choice, but God I find these long weekends hard. My friend cancelled our night out Sat night that I was really looking forward to, so not done much at all. Anyone else? Just watching 4 weddings - never lets me down.

People suggesting planning some 'me' time - read a book, go to the cinema, have a bath etc etc, clearly don't realise that every bastard weekend can be like this and these things take up maybe a few hours in what can be long and tedious days

Given that I've been single for twelve years, I'm fully aware that it's every weekend. During lockdown it was every day. But these are exactly the kind of things I do and enjoy on my own.

This is pretty damn useless to someone who feels lonely.

And op @Tempnamelady did plan something - to see a friend but she cancelled

i did see people but my main plan was cancelled. I’m not saying there aren’t people much worse off than me , it’s just that my life has changed so much in a short space of time , I’m struggling with the transition that’s all , rightly or wrongly.
