My ex has moved on with his life, but I feel stagnate not because I can't move on, I just don't know how to meet people without running into him and well, I'll be honest, the skank. Dating sites are a joke, and I'm not really looking to date. I have been so emotionally traumatized by this, I will probably never trust another man. That doesn't mean their not ok to hang out with. I have and had alot of plans for OUR future, and now I'm looking at doing things alone. I'd like to find anyone who is divorced, and a little angry, and just trying to pick up the pieces to find how to smile and laugh again. No where to meet people except bars and church, and I don't spend that much time in either. Any other suggestions?

Try meetup.com ....they have groups in your area and you'll probably find one where you can meet some people to talk to.

I was reading your post and understand what you mean. My ex moved on also. He moved in with his girlfriend as soon as he told me about it. He never even filed for the divorce. I finally had to do it when I had the money. I have to go past their home during the day at my work, and see his vehicle there. I also feel like I can not move on. I also would like to have someone to just talk to and go for dinner with or to other activities. It is really difficult to do that in a small town when everyone knows you and your ex husband, and his new girlfriend. I don't go to bars either. I tried the dating sites and it was unsuccessful. I have not met anyone at church either. I go to events and places all of the time, but it gets old when you are alone. I do not know the answer to your question but wanted to tell you that I am in the same position. None of my friends seem to understand this and think I should be happy to be alone.
