I have a divorce looming on the horizon against my own personal choice. We are currently separated and everyday I come from work I want to cry—I’m tearing up now as I type this—because our first rental together was supposed to be a happy home and a stepping stone to our first home purchase.
I can not assume your fear and hurt is 10x mine. I’m thankfully in a city I’m well familiar with but I am at a job I started when we got married and I just feel “blah” (for lack of a better word) about it.
It’s in times like these where we can make rash decisions. Unless you have something lined up for you and/or family back at the city you moved from, I would give it 6-12 months to work this job. Establish financial security for yourself as you pick up the pieces. Friends and family are also crucial during this time while also learning to be alone. Do what you need to in order to strengthen your support circle. Texts, phone calls, bombard one another with memes. Develop a hobby, learn a new skill or do something to keep you busy.
Also try to make new friends while out and about or at work. If you’re still not liking this city after a year, make your next step. At least you would have given it some time to think and ponder over instead of quit your job tomorrow and spiral out of control.
I hope the best for you. If you wish to talk I am here.
I’m so sorry to hear. Although I haven’t been married, I was in the “alone in a new city, in a new job,” boat not too long ago (while simultaneously consumed by a toxic relationship) and learned a few coping strategies for the next time it happens. If you’re interested, or just want to shoot the shit and be bombarded by memes, gimme a holler. I’m all ears.
Thank you. Memes do make me smile.
Hi sorry to hear! Try to make friends at work. Can you afford a gym? Exercise helps & it might be a good place to meet people. See if u can volunteer once a month. It might provide perspective & feel good. Give the new city a chance too; it could be a good change.
make an appointment with a therapist as soon as you can. especially in a new city you need someone to talk to and a therapist will help you find your strength through it all. ❤️
It gets easier as time goes on. Trust me. It really does. This is the hardest part and it will get better.
