preraph Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Instead of joining a nunnery, fill the void other ways and stay busy in social ways. You're an animal lover, so I would really encourage you to do some volunteer animal work once a week either for a rescue or the zoo. It will put you around people you at least have one thing in common with, and I found the animals very comforting when I was in a depression and did ocelot behavioral research and telemetry. And it was good for my damaged self-esteem and gave me something to talk to friends about other than being miserable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

KissingFire Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) I started dating again not even a week after my ex broke up with me. He had destroyed every element of my life, and despite not wanting to, I threw myself into the dating pool and signed up to POF. I had one date with a very sweet guy who was overly keen and scared me off. I was honest on my profile that I was newly single and just looking to mingle really and he was far too much too soon. It was still nice to get some positive attention and be taken out and treated like a lady though, even if I did have to let him down gently. I then met a guy two weeks later who was also fresh out of a relationship. We connected straight away because of that and we became serious very quickly. My ex and I split October 22nd (or 23rd, I can't even remember now.) My current BF and I met on November 13th and he is hands down the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I am so glad I had courage and determination to get back out there as who knows? Maybe I'd still be wallowing in my own misery. Now my current BF and I are travelling Europe soon and I am the happiest I have ever been in my whole life. I truly do believe he is the love of my life and the man I will marry. I am so grateful to my sh*tstain of an ex for leaving me and giving me the chance to be truly happy. I know others might scold and mock me for moving on so quickly and how could I possibly be over it, but I am. My ex was a man-child and I had my rose tinted specs on far too tight. It was also very easy to move on from him as my BF treated me a million times better in one month than he ever did in three years. It really put everything into perspective for me.
