PM me mate, just ( and I mean just ) getting over mine, horrible end to a 17 year marriage.

If it will help to talk I will send my number.

Best.

Chris.

Friends and family, getting out (definitely not staying in) meeting new people, new hobbies, clubs.

A dog will help you through this.

Time.

Not much consolation, mate, but there it is.

Fill it with something if you can.

rebound sex

Bottle of bourbon, pack of cigars and a few friends round for a film night... doesn't cure it, but acts as a distraction from it in the short term.

Change of scenery. Get planning an arctic trip. Something to look forward to. Or doing something you havent done yet, but youve always wanted to. I.E. Skydiving. That'll really make you FEEL something again. Even if it is being scared witless at the open door of a plane. Get your stomach churning and your heart pumping.

Drop me a PM, Ill do it with ya. I might be really skinny by then.

True, should have said shared with friends... lads night out works wonders with the right mates.

Sorry to hear it. I second the suggestion for a night out. After that, tedious tasks that occupy the hands but not the mind. Long walks are good too.
Painful as it is, your mind needs to process this. Let it do its thing.

.....if you have a knot in your stomache feels knotted like its tied with a constrictor knot....i can emphasise. ..just a message and a call away . i was married with three kids. i was basically a victorian type husband that spent all my time working and lamping.

i stayed away from using the forum every day night.....and guess what....after 11 years ? i healed and....

Best cure?

Lots of meaningless sex

 

[Dave]

I might get lampooned for this, but IME women tend to move onto the next bloke to get over the last one as quickly as possible, whilst men, tend to be just p****d off and dwell....

I think the night out thing works less, the older you get, [having done that many hundreds of times] and the more times you've been through it, the harder it is to commit like that again, cause you know whats waiting.

It takes years and years sometimes.

Deffo mates who will share the burden with you and who are happy with silence for when you're in a down mood

Getting out and about will make you realise there are new horizons outside the boundaries of your old relationship

I did bike rallies or rides away to see mates I hadn't seen for years

Hell get out to bushcraft meets and find new friends among whom will be those with similar experiences who may become your new circle of buddies

Wish I had some advice because I would follow it too, mine got broken just over 5 years ago and it cut me deep regarding my ability to trust and allow myself to be vulnerable, sadly iv been single and alone since then and wish I was able to open myself up to reconnect on a real level with a woman, wish I could even do it for the meaningless sex as described as a cure above, haven't done that in half a decade either. Only love of my life right now is nature
