People need to learn to let themselves be sad when something sad happens. It’s OK that you’re sitting on your couch watching Dawsons Creek by yourself feeling a bit sad. Sadness is a part of life and it’s OK. You need to become comfortable with sadness.

Loneliness happens whether you’re married or not married. There are a ton of married women sitting at home watching Dawsons Creek by themselves feeling lonely.

You also need to learn to be alone. Being alone is something we never learned growing up, but it’s an important part of life.

Give yourself some time. Let yourself feel sad.

Write down a few things you’d like to do and make sure you do them. Reconnect with some friends that you stopped being friends with because you poured all your energy into your marriage.

Exercise even though it’s just a walk.

Shower every morning. Eat healthy food. Go for a walk. Phone a friend.

You can’t rebuild your life in an instant.

In six months, you’ll be a lot better. Than six months more will be even better.

You can’t believe it right now, but there’s gonna be a time when you don’t even think about the person you were once married to.

What do other single people do on weekends?

Get out of the apartment life. It's dreary and awful even in the best of times.

Get a house, even if you have to rent. Not a duplex or town house either, that's just apartment life with more expense.

What does that have to do with anything? So she can fix things every weekend or rake leaves? How is this helpful?!

You can't be serious.

I’m a new poster but even I’m curious how getting a house would help. It sounds like she’d be even more isolated and less likely to find a community living in a house. Most people in those neighborhoods tend to be couples with kids.

Houses are constantly needing work, upgrades, updates...they require time and money and are a ton of responsibility for a single ageing women. The PP poster is an idiot.

What kind of fire trap clapboard shacks have you lived in?

NP and I binged watched Botched yesterday and will likely again today and I figure out what I’m doing. I’m a few steps behind you and haven’t moved out yet. It’s a scary time. I just need to rent the place. Thanks for posting. You actually gave me courage.

NP. I lived in an apartment for years and truly don’t understand this perspective.
