Hey Doodle - sorry things didn't work out.
Definitely don't think you need to 'grieve' any short relationship, even if you thought it was going somewhere.
One of my first abortive teen relationships left me feeling very down and I thought about the 'girl that got away' for years afterwards (and think that it coloured my views on women in general for a while).
Anyway, I recently found out that she is now married with a beautiful child. The cheesy lesson here is that life moves on and so should we
Onwards and upwards - you have your DD, health and home - it's a good start.0 -
Morning hun,
You feeling any perkier today?
I completely understand your still grieving your marriage, your relationship with your ex was 11yrs longer than mine and its only been a year since it ended, its been 4 months now since my ex left me and I am no-where near ready to touch another man, will take me a long time esp after being played again.
Whats your plans for weekend anyway?Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
I am ok today still a bit grumpy but nothing major.
Nothing planned, DD is with my ex today and most of tomorrow so going to do some house sorting. Have a few junk areas where I just threw things in the cupboards etc when moved in so going to have a clear out.
Then thinking i might crack open my Ebay shop, I have loads of stock in my garage and now through my new found single life have lots of time in the evenings lolProud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712
