Splitting up with the Mrs.

[HawkingsHalfpint]

Break-ups are always difficult, whatever the circumstances. But trust me on one thing - one day in the not too distant future you’ll wake up feeling fine, remember about it (as is the norm), but it just won’t hurt as much.

And trust me on another - it can always be worse. The way my last relationship ended (3 years ago last week, in fact) I simply wouldn’t wish on anyone, and I’m still not over it.

You’ll get there, fella. Keep busy, keep distracted, and occupy yourself with mindfulness pursuits rather than booze or meds. The latter only if you really need to, but don’t do the former - it will only make it all feel ten times worse.

Chin up lad.

I really don't want to come across as making this about me attitude, but it helps, as always, talking to strangers about this shit.

I like my own company, and I've got plenty of hobbies in mind to pursue once I'm over the initial shock and pain. But right now, nothing is fun, everything is boring, time is so slow, and I can't concentrate with all the whirring thoughts.

I'm aware this will pass, and time is helpful, but that's not really a comfort in the moment. It's just a vile experience to go through. But I'll get through it, eventually.

Mate, you've cleared labelled the post, it's totally fine being about you.

I've had a bit of a fall out with the Mrs daughter, so I spent Christmas alone, barely seen anyone, so I know what you mean about the numb loneliness.

You bumped into a couple of mates though eh?

Can of Lynx Africa, take yourself down the local discotheque, waft those pheromones around and you'll be swatting them off like flies.
