Miss companionship

Buy a dog. Good company and 1000x more loyal. No nagging, no moodiness, no arguments…..only good times and adventures.

It's been almost 13 months for me. That's what I miss the most. Romance had long since died but we always had good conversation about our days. I don't have that connection with anyone anymore.

Be social. Be active. Participate in a group sport or a men’s group. Do speed dating. Have you tried meetup? There are divorced groups in my area that do hiking and other things together where there are people of the opposite sex. I know it will never replace having someone at home to talk to or lie next to in bed but having that social connection can sometimes make it feel just a little less isolating.

It is difficult, I don’t miss cuddling up with them because I know it would be for oxytocin sakes.

I’m quite aware about myself with leading chemical decisions, although, I do miss companionship.

I make an effort to ask a girl on a platonic date just for company though once a week.

Nothing prepares you for the loneliness, hurt and deep sadness but what I learned is that these are emotions not permanent conditions…Emotions by nature alone are fleeting, typically lasting 20 minutes unless YOU belabor them or fester…. The trick or goal is to not remain in that state for too long; change your focus, move your body, get out of the house—change that emotion to feel another until you achieve empowerment, this is when you can control/manipulate your emotions.
Before all this though, feel those emotions that hurt(as in sadness), power-through them a few times through meditation or being still (really feel them), only then will you be able to get better at working to control/manipulate them… Hope this helps and much luck to you❤️‍🩹

The eternal male dilemma. We all know the trouble we invite into our lives by bringing a woman into it, and yet a few months without one and you start to miss it.

Please go visit the YouTube channel Psychacks and watch a bunch of his videos. They’re all pretty short and your find some answers there.

Dudes need to normalize having roommates with people in similar straits. I had a bad breakup in college and lived on my own for 3 years. Terrible times, my best friend lived alone in town but said no to living together bc we could afford to live separately in separate crap neighborhoods.

I feel you, man. It's been about 9 months for me going on 10.

I haven't even touched dating apps or tried to court anyone in real life. I don't do hookups or escorts either. The thought of having a relationship is too much for me to handle right now.

It does get lonely sometimes, but I'm managing well. I figured I could still have a social life and be around other people instead of being in a relationship.

And you will get stronger as long as you work on yourself. That's what I'm doing right now.

Other than sex I miss sharing a funny video or meme, going out to eat or doing an activity together but that’s about it
