This weeks weather forecast is sunny and 25C

Ride your bike.

I hope you’ve already instituted naked Sundays in your new regime.

Sorry to hear your bad news pal

I’d recommend packing the bike in the car and go and find some epic trails – if you can persuade a mate or two to join you, even better 😀

move things about a bit, move the settee put the tv in a different spot, move the bed just change things about to where you want them, make the place feel like yours,

Drive around Scotland for a week or two hitting up as many spots as possible…

Unless you already live in Scotland… in which case… damn things really are crap.

don’t start drinking…

Ring a mate right now.

Make a list of stuff you couldn’t when you were with her, and sort out doing it

41 and single again…..

You lucky, lucky man! (even though I’ve no complaint about my Mrs at all, I quite envy you) But mebbe thats just me.

In the words of William Wallace, FREEEDOMM!

EDIT, ok mebbe a bit early for me to comment like that but, you’ll see.

The King is dead long live the King

Dont do anything daft and ensure your income stream is protected (dont let your personal problems affect what you do to earn a living)

Tart up your home and youself and have some fun go and ride your bike, look forward not back

If you are a normal guy, dont have too much baggage and look half decent your are a rare commodity and will be in demand but take your time.

She will be back, they always come back like homing pigeons, but they usually crap on you first.

Lucky man, now go buy a Les Paul & a Marshall !

Lots of time to ride your bike and do all the fun things you’ve been wanting to do for ages 🙂

lol @ BoardinBob, that’s quality!

Ride loads, do things you really like doing especially ones that were frowned upon by your ex, treat yourself a bit (if you’ve got the means) though don’t go overboard, but a couple of weeks away riding bikes would be good. And errrrr… Just wait whilst all the local single ladies form an orderly queue outside your front door, as at your age with a good job and capable of looking after yourself, you’re a rare catch!

Alcohol fixes everything.

Temporarily.

OI, GET OFF THE INTERNET AND GET THE F+_^ING DISHES WASHED!
Then you can go have a beer at the local and arrange your weeks riding 😀

Oh and try to get everything financial etc. sorted asap so it is a clean split

worse things will happen, better things will happen, go do stuff you enjoy, don’t sit at the bottom of a bottle but do have a blow out with pals if possible.

Some very good advise. Even simple things like this makes a difference : “move things about a bit, move the settee put the tv in a different spot, move the bed just change things about…..”

We all have our brains “hard-wired” to expect certain things in our lives to follow a pattern, the hardest thing to deal with in these situations is when these expectations don’t happen, so change your life so that these exceptions no longer occur, or at least are minimised.

Make things as different as you can to how your life was up until tonight. Redecorate, buy new clothes, stuff like that, but most important of all, do different things. Start a completely new hobby, go to evening classes, learn a musical instrument/dancing, anything like that. And meet completely new people too. Keep away from alcohol. And let time do the rest. Good luck.
