Hello, Everyone! I just want to say thank you to all of the wonderful people who offered me so much comfort, encouragement and great advice over the weekend! Last week was the shittiest week of shit weeks and it was nice to hear from some really wonderful people on agnostic.com. After shutting down my Facebook page eight years ago, I started another one recently. If you are interested in my SECULAR only FB, please hit me up with a message and I'll give you the details there. Thanks again for your love, kindness and support. Have a fantastic week and know that you all are really special to me. BTW, I'll still be on this great site, it's just that I know some great god free people who only use Facebook. TAK!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Charity... I went through a heart wrenching divorce several years ago. It still stings when I think about it. 20 years together and my trust and faith in her was shattered by her having an affair. I had some great advice that worked for me from a friend....
How you handle this now will define who you are in the future. (At least to some degree!) Be strong and use this outlet for help. (Or a licensed therapist!) Personally, I'd steer clear of Facebook as in my experience it just brings more trouble and unwanted issues.
The one eye opening fact I ran into when trying to start to date again was the sheer number of scams on ALL the dating sites. If you go there... List yourself as ... NOT separated or divorced. There is a whole cadre of badmen (and women) who prey on those with possible self esteem issues.
This place was a breath of fresh air for me. Not too many people close to me to date but a place where I can be me and post my thoughts.
Keep your chin up! It gets better every day!

@Charity I just STARTED seeing a therapist 2 weeks ago. I have had to deal with a lot of loss in the past few years. (Or not deal with it... Divorce, family deaths, etc.) My sister suggested I go and I am glad I started. Nice to get an uninterested (Other than well being) 3rd party opinion and help.
Take care of yourself first!
I am unaware but can only reach conclusions, well founded or not. You did it for me when I needed help so... for that I am indebted to you for life. You know were to find me. Store is Open 24/7. Bad thing about "shitty" is that it can get worse, there are always other levels. But let's look at the Bright Side... You will never be Alone. And shitty is not Forever, is Transitory and Never a Final Stage.

@Charity Nothing to be Sorry. During all this time I refused answering phones from those close to me. Ex GFs, sister, buddies, relatives... I am not talking to them, Stayed away from Facebook, suspended it, the day we find out she died. I will put something on her birthday this Friday. I will PM you. You need to be Vigilant and bring her back from that dark place she is too young to understand.
@Charity I will PM you.
So happy you got support from our community. We have some awesome people here.
