Such a shame we are not in the same country. I am mainly on my own most evenings like billy no mates too. I have even started hankering after the idea of living in a house of single 'parents' – just for the adult company/instant kid playdates/free babysitting opportunities. Living communal style just seems to make so much sense rather than alone. It just doesn't feel at all natural to be at this stage of life and not sharing it with someone that you have carved a life out with.

I get it. Just wish i could be there. xx

I think your reaction to your situation is normal - it's tough to be alone when you've been used to having someone there. I like my own company now and then but it's enjoyable because I know I have a wife to come back to; it would be a quite different matter to be on my own and know there was no one to share things, to chat to about this and that, to watch a DVD with or go out for a meal.

So, no I don't think you're a sad loser at all - just someone trying to get to grips with her life that has taken some nasty, unexpected turns.

Bon weekend!

Yes – I too should have left a comment on your other post … but…
well – what is there to say – except that I am so pathetic that I deleted my blog and started another one up but am afraid to show it should my (soon to be ex) husband find it.

Honestly – I don't know what I'd do without your posts – and yes – if I did happen to live within your continent I would love to come speed dating with you (but only to check the talent quickly and then go have loads of wine with you). See – pathetic!

I can't think of anything scarier than speed dating – the thought of having to make a good/lasting/positive impression in a few minutes would make me either tongue tied or alternatively not come up for breathe and not let the other person get a word in! I too read your blog daily. I had only read political/newspaper blogs until I googled Dulwich Art Gallery, found Dulwich Divorcee (!!!) and started clicking on links. Yours was one of the blogs where I went back to the start and read all of it and now I check it most days. I love the variety of your posts and how different your life is to mine in Australia so don't get too busy to blog!

I will join you in the November birthday looming blues. I am just the same for different reasons. Think it just brings to the surface life not being how you thought it was going to be.

Hang in there. (Did you get that trombone yet?) But seriously, in my sad, newly single-and-alone state last year, I dusted off my old guitar and found immense comfort there.

I didn't respond to your plea the other day because many others already had, but I look forward to reading your blog everyday!
