Blushing you might want to really think about what you look for in a man and what you might actually end up with.
You might still find a knight in shining armour, although I dare say he won't be perfect. I thought I had one. He was very kind, waited on me almost hand and foot, appeared to love me, and was always there, at least in body, and the sex was great. Problem was, he couldn't hold on to money, was always broke, addicted to porno, gambling, was a liar, and expected me to take care of him financially. Guess it depends on what you can put up with. Great sex does not make a complete and happy relationship. Although most men think if they keep you happy in bed you can overlook their other shortcomings. Not true guys.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Tell me how do you get your mind off things? Right now I am laid off work, have to live in my daughters basement, and have soooooooooooo much time on my hands. I have cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned some more but there are always those times in the evening when you realize just how quiet it is. That is when you feel so alone, so can anyone suggest anything? You can only watch so much TV, I have worked far too many Sudodu puzzles. Suggestions please.

Hello everyone.

Hi, a friend told me about this site, but she has never used the forums. I thought I would check it out. Seems to be a lot of support here.
I am starting the New Year out alone as my husband told me on New Year's Eve that he thought it was over between us. He started the new year with an "out with the old and in with the new" lease on life! His life is moving on, I am on hold. Things look really down right now.
So I know how a lot of you feel, but you just have to take it one day at a time, look forward, not back, and realize that you do not have to be in a relationship to be happy. Time heals all things.
I am lucky to have a friend who helps me get through the days, and gives me pep talks, tells me I have to think of myself now, not what my soon to be ex is doing, because that is what depresses me. I hope everyone of you are blessed with friends like her. A girl needs all the friends she can get, because they are usually the ones that pull us out of that pity party we always seem to throw for ourselves.
There is one thought I like to keep in the front of my mind, "God never takes anything away from you without replacing it with something better". We just have to be patient and BELIEVE IT WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!
I look forward to making new friends.
