I thought that would prevent you from feeling lonely. In my group many women joined after widowhood and divorce to seek company of other women. It’s not like socializing in a bar. Could be a quiet lunch on Sunday with other ladies or a movie. Not a wild stuff. You could heal with other women in the same boat.

I worry that feeling lonely will push you back into his arms. And if you keep company with the same people it’s only a matter of time before you run into him dancing in a bar and he starts flirting etc snd you’ll be right where you started.

Sooner you find new group of women better you’d be. Of course just my opinion.
