I'm going through a major issue in my marriage now and I have never been this lonely before. Things are up and down at the moment. I'm praying they are getting better. But, I'm scared, too. I'm scared my husband is being lured away from me by the idea of "single is better" by people who are single with lots of "friends."
I think you both have a great opportunity. You can work on building up yourselves to be stronger and healthier without having to be concerned about another person or a child. You can work on healing as best you can.  And being a healthier you will make it easier to have a healthy relationship when someone special comes along.
It can be so easy to focus only on the negatives of a current situation (I'm sure I'm doing it, too, right now.) So I hope you both feel better and can find a tiny bit of happiness. I have a sticker on my work computer that says "I am the main source of my happiness." It can be hard to believe some days, but I keep it there to remind me.

Thank you for your kind words dark_heart_x. I guess my current problem is just that it's been recent and the wound is still fresh...
Honestly I never even considered the possibility that she'd leave me so in my mind it is as if the impossible has happened to me and I can't seem to come to terms with that... not right now anyway.
But you're right we should definately be the source of our own happiness and it is something that I am working on everyday. I hope that things work out for your marriage as well... I'm sorry that your husband is thinking about how he'd rather be single but you could look at it as "well if he truly feels that way then maybe he really isn't for me" I'm sure you'll find a guy that would take care of you and want to be with you rather than being single.
Good luck to you and take care.
