After 6 months I have a lot of freedom again after giving my loyalty to the wrong man and thinking I could fix him.
Friends have mentioned I seem happier since I ended things 2 weeks ago but I just seem lost.
Met a couple of guys off Tinder for a drink but I've lost my mojo. I'm just obsessed with work and the gym
6 months away and I appear to have forgotten what to do with my freedom |

You might have some trauma, if you needed to fix someone then they're problems end up your problems and you can end up almost as fucked up as they are.
I agree with the above, there's no rush. Just go with the flow on how you feel. |

I think maybe that you are just adjusting, change can take a little time to fell like everything is running smoothly and in place. Especially if the break up involved some emotions of any type.
Maybe give yourself a treat and no pressure, your mojo will come back! |

"Did he need 'fixing'? Was he broken?"
When things were good they were amazing, when his issues came to light it was an emotional roller coaster.
I loved him so kinda hoped he would overcome those issues, but he never admitted to them so I should have seen I was never going to get anywhere.
Should know better at my age x |

"I'd go to a couple of socials "
I'm thinking that too, and a very lovely lady is holding a BBW night at Eurekas which I might attend on a social basis in January x |

Obviously you know the error of your ways now . It really doesn't need to be said , but engaging in relationships with those who need fixing is never going to be ideal is it ?
Look ahead , and armed with the new found knowledge that you know what you don't want , it will be so much better next time |

Best thing you can do, ring round the girls, get a few bottles of wine flowing & put the world to rights.
Top it off with a last minute taxi ride into town for a good old boogie with your pals & a nice kebab/pizza on the way home.
Next day=much clearer & you'll wonder why you let things bother you.

Your mind is your own,...your heart and your mind are yours. Don't let others decide your fate |

I think you could give some time to do what you want to do rather than anyone else and do stuff because you want to not because of what you think others might think. Time for a bit of selfish self quality time for yourself. |

There's something akin to the grieving process when we leave something behind. Especially if we're intimately involved.
You've done one good thing for yourself op, now ensure that you look after yourself even more. Whether you need rest, the gym, novelty or treats, allow those luxuries and nourishment for you.
As part of a couple we can somehow gain a part blended identity - part just us and another that's a fusion Imo. Reestablishing just our solo self - which is different to who we were before that relationship - can take some time.
Potter along, and just enjoy and accept how things are. And treasure yourself, as you perhaps gave too much away for him. |

time is a great healer, life will go on. never rush into anything in the future, live for yourself. The right one will appear when you least expect it. its taking me time to get my head around things but still not sure which way I'm heading. I'm happy being the nice guy and enjoying the social and fun side of this lifestyle. |

Please don't say that! Please don't beat yourself up!
You loved him, you tried to make it work. End of!
As for advice....everything the wise sage Sophie said xxx

I came out of a relationship with someone who took up all my time, this was in august. I'm still a bit lost at times. Is a bit weird going from doing loads all the time and having a busy life to being doing things you enjoyed then going to a relationship with someone taking up all your time so there's nothing left of you. I'm finding things like listening to the music i listened to before i met him and looking into the things i was doing before i met him are helping a lot, but it took a couple of months of thinking and processing the relationship before i started doing this.
Just wanted to let you know, it might help. |

I know what you mean, I went shopping the other day and I was able to browse without him huffing because I'd not just got the things on my list and was looking around. It was odd but I enjoyed being able to do that.
I did everything he wanted and left little time to do things I wanted to do as he would just huff about it.
I no longer have access to a car for heavy items such as cat litter though....but I coped before him.
Amazing support guys and girls xx |

Glad you understood that, looking at it again my words were a bit jumbled up. Hate thinking about him, my mind goes off somewhere else trying to escape lol.

You'll be okay, just give yourself time.
For future reference though, never lose contact with family or friends when you have a new partner. It's very tempting to retreat into your own little world, but the world doesn't stand still and people move on and you could become isolated if things end.
Good luck. |
