I am the exact same age as you, Petite, and went through the break-up of a 5 year marriage just a few months before your relationship with Mr Frog ended. My husband was French as well - we met in Europe but lived together in Canada together. Anyways, about half a year after our separation, I met a new man and had stars in my eyes. When that relationship ended as well (it was too early for me), I decided to pursue my own interests and not to date for a while. I ended up learning to salsa dance, and am now passionately dancing every weekend. I've lost 15 pounds, feel great, and am enjoying my independence immensely. I highly recommend taking up a new hobby - the sense of accomplishment and pride helps assuage the inevitable bouts of loneliness. Mind you, there is nothing to replace the enormous high of being in love - but for me salsa dancing is a way to express my passion for life and love without having to give up too much of myself to a man before I'm ready.

It's wearing very thin. The statement, not the underwear. I get told off about being negligent with my underwear. It’s wearing very thin.

But it will. Just believe. That new man will turn up when you're good and ready -when you don't need anyone else to press your 'play' button but can do it for yourself. In the meantime just enjoy the new opportunities and freedoms that life will bring you every day. I look back on my days of singledom in my early thirties with huge nostalgia and know that I would have enjoyed them even more if I'd been able to fully extinguish the nagging doubt.

It's ups and downs, there and back again, all the time. Best just to accept it. Hey petite – you know, I think we all live life like that. It’s ups and downs, there and back again, all the time.

Maybe there is some new interest or activity that you could throw yourself into to take your mind off everything? That's usually the best way. And who knows, it might in time lead you to Mr Right - someone who shares your outlook and passions.
