Kicked him to the kerb and feel bereft

[Needanewlife]

After much deliberation I took all of your advice and dumped my bf......he said he was devastated and a few days later her posted photos of him back with his ex...I just don't get how men can move on so quickly....the thought of dating again makes me want to cry....I just don't have the time to date or the money tbh....feeling very alone at the moment and unwanted.... more than anything I miss the company in the evenings. My kids are a nice distraction but it's not the same....I miss the adult interaction....my friends have suggested taking up a hobby...I'm eager to get fit and they suggested that running might be therapeutic....I can probably only run 2k without stopping so perhaps I can make it a goal to be able to run 5k. I'm Going to have to bribe my eldest to take the kids for an hour. Any other suggestions on how I can make my lonely miserable life more bearable welcomed!

Running is a brilliant goal. For evenings in you can't just go somewhere because of the kids, reading, knitting, embroidery, baking, yoga? That's mine anyway :)

It sounds like you were a placeholder girlfriend, if he's moved on so quickly.

Exercise is definitely the key to unlocking your future

Get your running shoes on and get out there

Block him on social media and 2k is a really good start.

what a prick. Great plan with the running though. Are there any running clubs near you, it's a pretty good way to meet people (I mean in general, not just a dating scenario).

Hi!!

Park run is free. You simply register online and they provide you with details of parks near you where the run happens. Usually 9am on a Saturday but don't quote me on that. You just need casual clothes and comfy shoes/trainers and a bottle of water.

What area are you?

Thanks for the suggestions...I live in Ashtead and have found a park run near to where I live....Just need to find childcare but sure I can bribe the eldest....treated myself to a new pair of trainers today and some running clothing....feeling quite low and anxious today....he blocked me after I dumped him but now he's unblocked me and is posting subliminal messages on social media....must not look....must not look

And as if by a miracle the ExH has agreed to take the kids for a whole weekend.....I almost fainted....So it's a bottle of red, some cake and Netflix for me.

You need to block or at least hide him on FB Needanewlife so you're not tempted to look at his posts.
Good luck with the running - have you downloaded a couch 2 5K app (or even couch to 10k)? I'm using the Zenlabs one and it's really good!

Yes agreed Moon...it's just too bloody easy to look....must be stronger.... have just downloaded it thanks for recommendation....ideally like to do 10k

Excellent needanewlife.

Good luck to you. Hope you enjoy it and make friends too.
