I broke up with DP last week

[Planted]

And am struggling today. I love him very much but we were so badly suited. I just want to call him

It was my first relationship post divorce and it took over two years to meet him. We were then together two years.

I'm 37 and just feel alone, and pathetic to be honest.

Ugh. I remember this feeling from lonely Sunday evenings before.

How do I get past the feelings (AGAIN)?

Hand hold. Wise people will be along shortly to help you. I'm single by choice now so can only say that evenings on your own should be viewed as precious rather than lonely. You can do exactly as you choose, so think about something you've fancied doing (or put off) for ages - bath, phone chat with a friend you haven't spoken to in a while, do your nails, good book, film, even clean out a cupboard you have been meaning to! You can be your own best company, I promise.

Thanks penguins. I'm usually quite good at being alone, but it all just feels a bit raw still.

Sorry you're going through this, OP. When I split with my partner I found it helped to keep busy, I spent a lot of time with my family and friends and really leaned on them. At first my head was up my arse and I was just going through the motions but gradually I started to feel more present in what I was doing. But it is just a really shit time and you will feel sad and it's something we all need to go through. Be gentle with yourself and just try to remind yourself that the relationship ended for a reason and you know yourself that you won't feel like this forever.

for you x
