I’m 5 years out. I have my kids and I have friends, but I’m still painfully lonely and miserable all the time. It will never change.

Honesty I’m not even seeking company. I’m not isolating either. Like I’ll go out to dinner with coworker that invited me but mostly I’m just trying to build my body and mind and spirit. I’m kind of enjoying investing in myself after neglecting myself for so long. My favorite social time is hanging out with my brothers. Not too many friends but people I’m friendly with and get social time with when I go to Jiu Jitsu or rock climbing or play soccer with. If this helps at all. Maybe solitude isn’t so terrible.

Read books as a way to take your mind elsewhere. Mix it up between fiction & self help books.

Hit the gym to let out frustration & let go of stress. Also, might make friends at the gym

Invest in your hobbies and make friends along the way. Boredom kills. Especially during separation and a divorce. Find peace with yourself most importantly. Best of luck man. Embrace the emotions and allow them to help find yourself.

Trust me, it’s nice having your own separated group moving ahead. I recommend starting some social hobbies. I play on a hockey team and love going out for a Diet Coke after our games. I also have a D&D group over on Monday’s.

While both of the groups bring me a great amount of social interaction, it’s been the time with myself that brings joy and reminds me that “I” got this.

I've started playing tennis. There are some people and girls to meet there too, but I want to deal with solitude ASAP... haha.

I’m an introvert, not much social. I moved to a different state after my separation.

I’m still trying to find my people but it’s not been easy. However, I am finding so much solitude in my own company. Cooking, reading, and focusing on work has been a blessing. I recently joined yoga studio. Never did yoga before. It felt awkward at first. But really enjoying being there and seeing familiar faces every week. The girls are beautiful in my studio, and one of these days, I’ll say hello to them. :)

So yeah, build your creative hobbies. Join a local gym or fitness center. Focus on building a new man out of you.
