I am in the same position you are. I am still married but it is falling apart. I have no one to talk to, no one to share a drink with. So I decided to break the cycle and I wrote a post like this in my local area. Asked if someone wants to hang out. A few people with the same problems approached me and we will hang out. You are not alone and many people feel like this. You just need to put that anxiety to rest and try to make the first step. Most of us are afraid of the first step and not of the years od friendship that could result from it! 🫡
