I'm lonely

[AlwaysReadyForABlether]

H and I split up two months ago after 18 months of marriage. It was the right thing to do and I don't regret it. But I'm surprised at how difficult I'm finding it to re-adjust to being on my own. I lived on my own for nearly 20 years before getting married and I expected to just fall back into my old routines.
But I'm not enjoying being on my own - although I don't miss H as such I do miss the company. Even things like cooking I just can't seem to be bothered anymore. I don't really know the point of this thread - just having a bit of a self-indulgent wallow. Someone give a kick up the bum.

I have a cat but he's not much of a talker .
I would love a dog and think it would be better company - but not fair to get one when I'm out at work all day.

Would having a lodger,maybe a temporary one to see how it works out,
or having a pet help at all?

Sorry to hear of your lose ,, as previous thread said try and be kind to yourself, you have suffered a Big upheaval in your life and it takes time to adjust to that , hopefully the fact you had lived on your own for 20 years will hold you in good stead and that through time and maybe developing your own interests and meeting new or old friends your life will become more interesting for you all the best with this new stage in your life you will get there.

Give yourself time to adjust. I'm sorry you are feeling lonely buti am sure it is just the recent break up.
Do try and cook properly for yourself - eating poorly will just make you depressed.
Good luck.

Haven't got any wise advice but I would say give yourself some time, it's only been two months. Be kind to yourself, if you can't be bothered to cook, treat yourself to nice picky bits for tea or ready meals from M&S. I think you also need to try to enjoy your own company - easier said than done I know
