Separated at 37. My ex doesn't seem to be interested in getting back together and the relationships I got involved with during this past year didn't work. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to start again. I have my job going. I'm working out. I keep myself in shape. I have friends who are trying to stay around during this tough time. But love doesn't seem to come again. I think I pushed the ones came close this past year away and I kept communicating with my ex, which many times hurt me tremendously.

I'm afraid I won't be able to love and trust someone or being loved and trusted by someone again. It's a horrible thought. Please tell me if someone has gone through this before. I'm trying everything: Medication, therapy, friends, work...I tried to date, I'm going to church. What's going on? Why does it keep hurting? I'm doing what I'm supposed to do to get better.
