Glenn,
Get out of the house and go talk to a minister or counselor. They have heard it all.
Volunteer to help others, like at a soup kitchen, mentoring in a school, or coaching basketball, anything! You will be amazed at the full heart you can have, with or without a mate.
What happened? How did you contribute to her leaving? What did she say right before leaving? Is it a permanent loss? Is there someone else for either of you?
Who is your best friend? Do you have family and friends to go fishing with or take to dinner? Get out and go. Others will be tolerant while you slop around talking about her all the time.
You might find out it is the best thing that ever happened to you. Who wants to live with someone who is unhappy? People don't abandon a mate without a really good reason. What is it? It may take a long time to mourn your loss, and to see your life as YOURS now. Keep going. Stay sober, exercise to relieve depression, and reach out to others. Good luck.

I am sorry to hear that Glenn, I think you should try the yahoo chat rooms that are age related ie 30s 40s 50s 60s I think you will find a lot more people in your situation and this could lead to understanding and help and even friendship

I say forget the chatroom and get out the house. The worst thing you can do is stay in and sulk because you need to realize its not the end of the world for you. I know it will be rough, but living your life will help you out a lot.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm not sure, you could always google for a chatroom. I hope your situation gets better. Remember sometimes the bad opens the door for the wonderful.

Your in the right room for asking and talking. There are quite a few that have individual email address that would be more than happy to listen to you and offer some advise...I wouldn't go to the sick o's or the kiddies for any advice, but if you read some of the advise some of us give to others you won't have any problem on deciding who to contact...after all that is what we are all here for is to help others...good luck

I would go to a divorce group.. look in GROUPS... divorced and moving on was one group I joined for a while.
I was abandoned 4 years ago after 20 years of marriage. I feel for you.
I would also suggest a divorce care group. I went to one for a few months, it is a 12 week course at a church.. but they did not proselytise.. it helped me understand what was going on and they were soo supportive, and I met new friends.
I would also suggest you join a singles group.
Take care.

I really think you should try a support group. You should be around people right now. Chat rooms are so impersonal. I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you both find a way to work things out.
