Single Again, not liking it at all, and not sure how to restart :(

[Achica123]

I have recently walked out of 2 relationships: a long term one that ended up being stressful and frustrating, and a short term one that was clearly not meant to be for me. The point is, I am single again and I am beginning to feel really empty. All of this is predicted , but I am not sure how to cope with it. I ended up having so much time and I am not sure what to do with it. I am not used to being all by myself without someone to plan things with, and look forward to meeting.
What would you do – apart from going to work, doing the cooking and basic home chores and shopping for basics? I have a few friends around. Suddenly I am not part of the young couples scene and I feel quite strange, lonely and abandoned!
Any suggestions?

I've been single since December, after a couple of months 'mourning' I'm now loving being on my own. I've been going out with friends loads, walking, reading, my son performed in a youth production of Bugsy Malone so I helped out with that, made more friends too!

Just dipping my toe back into online dating too...!

I'd suggest you try widening your social circle, make some plans for interesting things to do as a singleton and generally create a good independent life for yourself. Take every opportunity going, even if it means leaving domestic stuff to one side. Otherwise, if you're too reliant on a partner for your social life, you might be tempted to plug the gap with someone else unsuitable.
