TELL ME ABOUT IT!
I need to catch up, I hav...GIRL! TELL ME ABOUT IT!<br /><br />I need to catch up, I have no idea how long you've been separated....I've been separated going on 9 months now. What I realized is that I made my family my social circle. I rarely did stuff without all or some of them. So when I got single I realized that the past 7 years had whittled my friends circle down to other marrieds (sorry, I don't want to be around women gushing about their hubbys all the time now, I just don't) and a few other friends. <br /><br />Something that all this taught me is that when and if I ever get in another relationship, I need to keep a slice of life just for me, even if I don't feel like it. Even if I'm blissfully in love, I need to have me time, I need to keep friendships, I need to have some life of my own. <br /><br />I've been planning date nights with myself lately. Getting a movie, my favorite wine and food, getting my bed all clean and jammies all clean and putting it ON MY CALENDAR....date with me. <br /><br />I also got back into my passion, theatre, which is what I went to college for. Getting out and doing something you love has a way of introducing new friends. <br /><br />Anyways.........long story short, I feel ya. I'm only now getting a handle on it, and it's not always a firm hold thats for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537298998183885542.post-22560987950283117582010-08-09T22:04:52.790-04:002010-08-09T22:04:52.790-04:00Whine away. Lord knows I do it enough. If you can&...Whine away. Lord knows I do it enough. If you can't do it on your blog, where can you do it?<br /><br />I don't have very many married friends; I just can't relate to them anymore. I have single mum friends, but it's hard to align our schedules. And I do have single friends, but they have busy lives, not always able to carve out time for me and my wacky schedule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
