Re: Difficulty adjusting to aloneness callaway: I'm soo with you on this one. The first thing I did when we broke up was register on an online dating site;-) Then it hit home and I cried for a couple of months daily. Didn't have the energy to go online. Now I've decided to give it at least six months before I start dating. Part of me knows I need to learn to be on my own, and that I never wan't to feel as dependent on another person like i did with my x. Another part of me longs terribly for that belonging feeling that comes with having a significant other. Other times I can have a positively excillirating feeling from beeing on my own and making it.
Examples:wen't on a golfing holiday with my dad, didn't miss my x at all, felt soo good to be on my own. Decorated the house for christmas, felt terribly alone in doing so. Changed lightbulbs, felt like a relief not to have to nag him into doing it, now that I handle all the practical stuff around the house on my own, I don't get why he was complainging and dragging out on stuff, it's not that big a deal. My friend told me she was pregnant, I cried over the babies we didn't get and ondered if I ever will get any. Go to sleep when i like and I don't have to put out with him reading late and having the lights on.
