I will be moving into my own studio apartment soon.

I am 32M, she is 30F, almost made it to 7 years of marriage.

We are ending things amicably, but I have very few friends outside of our shared friend group, & I think it may be too hard for me to still see her out at events.

I still love her very much, but it’s over it seems.

How do I not self-isolate & drown my sorrows in alcohol? How do people maintain new friend groups after divorce?

I feel like I’m dying right now. But I also feel extreme shame, guilt, sorrow, and fear.

I also feel extremely isolated & lonely. I have very few real friends. And I do want to work on having more.

I am so extremely scared for the future now. The past 7 years of my life, down the drain.

Please help me.
