Hi I am new to this site, in process of divorcing my husband, been together 20 years, hardest decision I ever had to make to split but can see light at end of tunnel. Have 2 kids who fortunately don't seem affected by Dad not living with us any longer. Go through different emotions constantly, sometimes feel really happy and glad with current situation but on other hand don't see how I am supposed to get on with my life. Obviously I put kids first but as we split 6 months ago I am starting to long for adult company too!!!

Welcome - you will find lots of help and company here.

I seperated six months also. My H was away so much that the children also dont seem that unhappy on a day to day basis. They do have down days though but on the whole are okay.

Take care of yourself.

I also am six months down this track. Adult company can be pretty hard to find, you can't just walk into the pub any old time like the men do (unless you're a certain type of woman!).You will get opportunities just grab them when they come along and gradually one will lead to another.

There will be lots and lots of good days to come. Just be prepared for the bad ones as well because they do seem to pop up and bite you on the bum. If you're prepared for them they're easier to handle.

Take care and keep posting. Plenty of people here to care about you.xx

Hi, im just 2 months down the line but am also finding it a bit lonely. He spent his nights in the pub while i stayed home with the kids. Now everyone is still drinking with him and the OW and i seem to have been forgotten about. Sure when i went out a few weeks ago, they were all over me saying what an idiot he is being and how good it was to see me BUT have any of them called me since? you know the answer to that one. I know its too soon for me to have another relationship but would be lovely to have someone who was just my friend, who could share the ups and downs and flirt a little. Even just someone to text and ask iof i was ok. Ive got a few old girlfriends who live miles away but as pathetic as this sounds, id like a man. Our time will come im sure. Meanwhile we just have to be there for our babies and do the best we can.
