How do you rebuild?

[BeCosyMauveCrab]

My husband moved out yesterday. We both agreed it was for the best. I felt so lonely last night, and now feel a bit lost.

How did you rebuild your life? Our friends are shared, my family are 5 hours away. I don’t want to move back as the kids need to see their dad. I have a job, they’re in schools that they adore. I have some good friends here. But the future looks a bit bleak right now.

I was that fed up of my lifestyle when I left my partner 5 years ago that I felt I had a new lease of life.
I focused on my skin, hair and make up (shallow I know). Then I focused on my eating habits and routine now that he was gone.
I literally just gave myself a lot of attention and spent a lot of time being mindful and looking at what I wanted to achieve, whether that as weight loss, promotion, gaining new friends, being healthier etc.
You really need to delve into yourself. Find a hobby, even pottering in the garden. You'll be fine - see this as a new opportunity.

I focused on myself. Lost a lot of weight, bought new clothes, did a Masters degree, worked hard and became someone he could never be! ( he wasn’t very bright)
