coming out of a relationship of 5 years what are something I can do to move on with my life?

a relationship is smthg to ponder on. and if u have been 5 years together, wow that's half a decade. but try to understand smthg good abt ur relatioinship. try to work out, build urself more up, be someone u wanted to be w/ her but she didn't want that or she was not allowing u to do that. learn smthg new, like drawing, programming and so on. go have sports, read alot of books... in no time, u will fee urself different and ur perspective abt life will change... and maybe in any of those activities u'll find sm1 who can replace her, or at least the emptiness she has created?? good luck

Relax, and don't rush it. I've been there and it takes time and patience. For now remember, your life is all about you and your one goal is to be happy and make your life into something that one day you will be excited and proud to share with someone else. Look at everything around you right now and think about what you can do to make it better, and then do it. As for hanging out with people, that is always hard. The best thing you can do is look for events around town that interest you and just go and enjoy them. If you see dance classes or cooking classes or some such thing and you have an interest go do those also. Just be you and make your life the best you can and the rest will fall into place.

Leaving a relationship is hard begining again is even harder sometimes. The club scene isnt a start good thing and your not into that, once in awhile though wont hurt but dont make it a habit. Take long walks, start jogging, in many towns there are 'singles' dances and even if your not ready to socialize with any one person, dont shut yourself in, that creates more emotional problems, be open and just try everything , somewhere something will feel right and go from there. Good luck !

Abbeyroad hit it right on the Nosy. You need to find something that you like to do that will bring you in contact with other people. You will find that there are a lot of other folks in the same boat as you out there. Try the YMCA, church is good too. maybe even a volunteer thing that you do for other people. You have to get out to meet people!!

Take up some hobbies, join some clubs, get involved in your community, fill your lonely days with friends and family. Beware of friends and family members, at gatherings with mates, because they can make you extra lonely when you see them paired up.

try something new. take up a sport. learn how to paint, dance, act--everything you've always wanted to do. when you're busy, you can stop living in the past.
