SPC James Foster The best advice is to stay as busy as possible. I was working full time and going to school full time. I did not have as much time to focus on my failed relationship. If you have friends that you can talk to, that will help. As MSG (Join to see) mentioned, take it a day at a time, and eventually the pain will lessen.

Take it one day at a time. Try to avoid doing anything idiotic and destructive. DO NOT find absolution by climbing into a bottle (been there done that). Don't jump into a rebound relationship. When you are hurting and can't take it, find your nearest Chaplain.

"Climbing into a bottle".. oh im am desperately trying to prevent myself from doing so. it's taking a lot of my strength & will power. Same with the "destructive part"

Rebound relationship, nope. I was gonna ask a fellow classmate for a night into town. But then I realized that I'm too unstable , that I might break into tears. I would most likely be reminded of what happened, making my date very uncomfortable.

If I'm not crying nearly once a week, I'm avoiding social locations & distancing myself from other students.

SPC James Foster - If you are ever needing it, just shoot me a PM and just vent away. Sometimes what helps is just having an ear to listen so that you can get the pain out and off the chest.

Say "Thank you". I thank my exwife frequently for giving me my freedom. Always remember that the best relationship you ever had always replaces the worst one you ever had. (And, if you could see photos of my exwife, you'd really understand why I thank her. She is like a mirror image of the Portrait of Dorian Grey - as she grows older, the evil within appears on the surface while her portrait remains young and beautiful.)

My ex turned trailer trash before I had to divorce her.
