Newly single

[BrokenOne]

So after six years of being together and two of marriage I have now been forced into singledom (her choice to leave) and I must say it really different being single. I mean obviously its different but after being with someone for so long Im feeling like a beginner again when it comes to being alone. Other than seeking a closer relationship to god does anyone have any tips on how to make this transition smother?

Allow yourself to grieve the loss of your marriage - find a support group, if you can. Be patient with yourself as you adjust to your "new" normal life. Surround yourself with friends/loved ones when needed and take the time to be alone when you need that, too.

Most of all, hang in there. It can and does get easier. I've been divorced for two years now and promise that healing is possible.

Develop yourself. When I look back, the breakup was one of the best things to happen to me because it made me who I am today, and proud of the person I have become.

I have been really using this time to work on myself and I agree completely with you GQ Chris that this has been one of the best things to happen to me. Without this it would have taken me years to discover and work through things that I know that I have already made huge progress on. That being said I wish it didnt have to be this way but its not my choice. I guess the hardest part is that I no longer have my best friend with me, I know that God needs to be my best friend its just going to take time to get there. Thanks for the help.

Glad you found us here on the forum! Wow, you were a young one when you married! I guess that's somewhat of a plus now, since you're still only 22 and you've got a long life still ahead of you, and plenty of time for healing and growing and starting over. Anytime you need a friendly ear, feel free to PM

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I'm not single but you'll often see me posting around these parts anyway.

I -am- however, divorced (and now happily remarried, all in my short 26 years on the planet haha). If you ever want anyone to talk to, feel free to drop me a line.

Know that your future holds so much for you. While I don't want to call divorce a good thing -ever-, I do want to say that you're actually very lucky the marriage is ending when you are so young. You still have your entire life ahead of you, and many good things are going to come your way.

Cheers.
