How difficult was it for you when you became single after being in a relationship for a while?

What did you do?

It has been very difficult. There have been many sleepless nights,tears, fears, and battles. We were married 22 years and he isolated me from everyone but his friends and family. Now that we are divorced it feels like I have nothing and no-one. But, each day I just keep putting one foot in front of the other...or sometimes it is more of a crawl, but I am moving forward and growing stronger. I guess that is all anyone can do - moment by moment, one day at a time.
@SW-User 22 years wow. I am glad youre getting back up :)

@Rokasu @Dewms Thank you both!

Yes, I married at 18 and traded one abusive situation for another (I was too young and naive to realize it at the time 😞). It is all I have ever known, so the transition is exciting, but very scary.
@SW-User :(
Well at least now youre making better choices. 💖
It was very difficult for me cause I was a college student at that time and graduating. I just didn't dwell on the break up and just kept myself busy until I didn't realized I'm getting used to it. Yeah, it's been 9 years.
@SW-User Yeah, a chinky one!!!😍

I’ve been with my boyfriend (we lost our virginity to each other and everything) for 6 months now and honestly I hope we are together for the rest of our lives because I would be soooooooo heartbroken if we broke up...... I can’t even think about it haha but I do worry sometimes because the reality is like 99% of relationships seem to not last forever. We both think we love each other enough to stay forever but time will be the real test. Many things could change including ourselves🙃
@Summergirly best of luck and love to you and your boyfriend. 💖 :)

I was never even in a relationship but still haven't moved on from the person who left me. So difficult is a word I could use.

It was lonely. I felt really isolated.

And really I just powered through it
Cried, drank, dated a lot of skanks, got into exercise, went to therapy and became better at picking women...

I cried for three nights in a row and got really depressed
@SW-User gosh same

I got on Facebook and posted “sorry I’ve lost connections. Anyone want to talk”

Start there, or greet everyone you meet. If an conversation or interest seems possible, make a friend. From there , who knows....
It was really difficult, we'd been living together, and I moved back home for a bit to get back on my feet.
Sleeping alone was the worst for me.

I cried myself to sleep for a long while.

I went to EP in order to learn HOW to love again and HOW to trust again.

Just take one day at a time and do cool things to distract myself. 💜
@Peaceful that is nice :)

GoT drunk, enjoyed the peace and freedom and costant nagging.
I partied a lot and went on dates with random girls

What is this "being in a relationship for a while" you speak of?

Very hard. It took a year to re-adjust.
