Hello all,
I broke up with my girlfriend 2 days ago - I was the one who " called it a day " , at first I felt relieved and a bit excited at the prospect of being single but now two days in Im feeling depressed & anxious.
I'm starting to think I might have made a terrible mistake ending it, Im not sure if I really miss her or just being with someone. We have allways had a rocky relationship I think we probably split up about 7 times in the last 2 years, allthough many times before we have got back in lass than a day. I might end up back with her, Im not sure - the cycle just keeps seeming to repeat itself - break up, feel good to start with then go into depression - get back with her and feel good again.
One of the key factors in all of this is I had a 13 year relationship which ended - I lost out big time finacially ( kids involved as well
) , then after seperating I started this relationship only 5 weeks after, way too soon I know but I went from being lonely and depressed to happy overnight.
Thinking back on it I should have played the field a bit ( allthough it's not my style really ), I often have wondered if this relationship would have been normal had I have met a few women prior to this one : In other words maybe she was the one & I just didnt know it, who knows.
I'm 41, I've got no friends locally, I dont feel very confident at the moment, it feels very strange and by the end of this weekend Im sure Im going to feel very lonely.
