Just wondering what coping tools others have used after the break up of a relationship. Ex and I were together in a committed relationship for 3.5 years and broke up about a month ago. Right after it happened, friends were very supportive and made sure I was busy all the time...now, after about a month, they're back to their normal lives (as well they should be) and I'm trying to feel a bit less lonely but not sure how. We did not live together but saw each other every day and spent each weekend together. I'm 45 so most of my friends are married with children....it's tough to be single again!
