Hello fellow mumsnetters :) I am very grateful to have found this place last year while going through a dreadful breakup (3 year relationship, ended abruptly, lost all my friendships, was miserable and utterly depressed) but I am doing better now and I am at terms with my current predicament thanks to so many lovely ladies on here who gave me words of advice and encouragement through the more difficult periods of 2025.
I am hopeful that 2026 will bring me what my heart desires... love, family to call my own, etc. I am quietly working on myself in the meantime by volunteering, discovering new hobbies, being active.
Its been going well for the most part but these last few days I have been feeling awfully down again. It sucks being alone and single. I hate it. I am someone who loves being in love and I just can't be happy + single. Its been 8 months since the relationship ended. And although I don't miss my ex exactly, I miss a man's touch!!!! Its only been 8 months of me being single and I am so miserable. I don't know how people do this for year(s). ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
