I wish you the power and strength for this. I feel for you.

Thanks so much. It's actually nice to not feel so alone with this issue, but I am sorry that you too feel this way. I feel for you as well.
Yes, time alone can be hard, but I am also finding it to be empowering. I know I am growing in new ways that I wouldn't be if I were attached to a relationship. Healing for me is absolutely necessary, or else I will just keep repeating the patterns.
I dated during the year after my divorce and I kept meeting the same kinds of toxic men. So I stopped dating. It's been almost one year of no dating.
I am prepared for that to extend for as long as needed. I feel I need to build a solid life for myself first, and I am working on that.
I wish you all the best... being alone does have certain advantages - always remember this.
Happy new year to you too!
