...See more Mornin' all I'm back. Again. It's been two years since my ex and I broke up after being married 24 years. Now I am just lonely as hell. I'm 50. Everyone else I know is married and finding time in their busy family schedules is impossible. The people I know who are not married are either half my age or my age and never married (and they seem to e never to have grown-up past their 20s). I don't (yet?) want another relationship. But I'm tired of being inside my own head all the time. I need some ideas.

...See more I think I've made it through. Now I've got a lot of rebuilding to do. Let me tell you.... My wife and I separated after 24 years together and 19 years married. For the last seven months, although living very separately, finances forced us to live under the same roof until we sold the place, neither having the saving to move out.And we've Mr 5yo to think of. Now, not only have we sold the house (settlement and money transfers on 13 Dec), I've found a nice little place for me and my (part-time) boy and I've won a new job for a company that seems to treat employees like actual people. What did I learn? Persistence. Keep going. Keep putting one foot in front of the other no matter how dark it looks. Keep gooing.

...See more Today is moving soooo slooooowly. I've got a job interview tomorrow that I can't concentrate on preparing for and my ex-wife is starting to make noises about altering the agreements we've figured out already. I want to the house sold regardless of whether we make any money on it or not so we can afford to move out separately. Sometimes I think I'm losing my mind.

...See more Sometimes I get so lonely. I know how to deal with it. I know how to reach out to friends. I have plenty of projects to keep me busy and goals to work towards. Regardless. Sometimes I get so lonely.
Aw, snap. Another step closer to what I want.

...See more If you've been following this slow-motion horror, you'd know that we're separating after 24 years but, for a number of reasons, we're currently living separately under the same roof. Today she announced that her parents' house has finally sold and she'll be moving into a rental with them while they build their new house. The probable date for her moving out is early November. Even though I'm the one who pulled the pin, I guess I still harbour fantasies that she'll come to her senses and say "I'm sorry I'm such a pain to live with. Can we try again?" She won't (I've asked her.) and I can't continue to live with her. Im keeping it together. But only just. I'm glad we've had to take time to get Mr5yo used to the idea without too much upheaval. I'm glad it's given us a chance to talk things out and start living separate lives. Divorce has always been option 2 and I refuse to paint myself further into a corner trying to keep the marriage together. I can't live like this. I deserve some happiness. But I wish it didn't have to come to this. Am I even making sense? I'm so confused.
