How to rebuild your life after a divorce

[Liz128]

I’m in my late 20’s, no kids, and currently not working because I’ve moved back to my hometown in the city.

It’s been a few months now and I feel much happier being back in the city where there are so many opportunities but I just don’t know where to begin to start doing new things, going out more, meeting new people and keeping myself busy.

I’d like to hear how others have rebuilt their life or the steps they took to move forward after a divorce.

Get a job.
Look on meetup and see what takes your fancy.
Join a gym.
Get some counselling.

In my case, I moved to a city I was already working in, I bought a bike and cycled everywhere, I joined a book club, went to local events, got some counselling and swam in the sea every weekend.

I met someone else, but I’d been married a long time and the fizzling out had happened over many years, I was ready to move on quickly and by chance met my now Dh who was in a similar situation (stayed together for kids, in both cases our spouses called time on the last relationship)

I moved to be with him, my dc had already left home for university
