I hope you're able to move on and not be triggered. Just be the best version of you that you can be.

Thanks for the concern. It's been 8ish months ths since we split, so I've had quite some time to process. It's more of a curious detail than a trigger for me.

Though if I'm being honest, both experiences post S and D have left a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to relationships. I think I'm kind of done in that department.

I'm an oulier in my positions.

I've been having a lot of fun being on my own. I guess I don't really care if I'm alone or with a couple or group. It doesn't define me.

If I find a person who fits in, that's fine. If not, I'll be ok being alone.

Hang in there, JSG.

Hey everybody! Just thought I'd post an update. I think I'm using this thread as a journal of sorts. It began with getting my own place almost two years ago and as I'm approaching December, I'm feeling a little reflective.

No word on the exGF to date, though she has reblocked me on FB again. Her public profile. Not sure why she's toggling the switch, but it's a free country.

Still have my lonely days, but they are transitory,so I let them wash over me knowing they will pass. I'm getting more accustomed to being alone, and truth be told, my trust issues would make it a challenge to let anyone I dont know very well, past my defenses.

On that note,my colleague and I eat lunch together pretty regularly. She struggles financially as a single mom, so I try to buy groceries in bulk and then pass on the extra to her, claiming I bought too much. And to be honest,I cannot eat 10 pounds of beets before they go bad.

I buggered my knee and so I'm having trouble walking. The doc thinks I strained my MCL or have a torn meniscus. Just waiting on an xray appointment. Having free Healthcare is good, but sometimes the wait can be long. There is a shortage of radiology techs in this area. I guess the cost of living keeps them away.

My hard kambucha is going well. I've been experimenting with various fruit infusions on the final bottling. My favourite is pinapple-blueberry so far. I'm going to start exploring Persian cooking this season. Bought some saffron and am ordering skewers to make lamb kabobs. Kids are looking forward to some new dishes, as am I.

So that's my update. Hope everyone is well. Cheers...

Sorry you hurt your knee. I hope it isn't something that will require surgery to heal.

Your xGF sounds like it's good that she's an ex. I'm F, and I have no idea why she would block/unblock and flip around.

Glad the lunches with your colleague are going well. You are very kind in buying extra and asking for help. I will do that, too. When I was around families with lots of kids, I'd buy extra school supplies and ask if they needed some. They were just laying around the house and I'd appreciate if they could take them off my hands.

Persian food sounds amazing. We have a Mediterranean restaurant nearby, and I was inspired to cook with za'tar and sumac. I even found an on-line recipe for schwarma seasoning. I haven't been brave enough to try lamb, but I'm getting there. I also want to try to cook Osso Bucco.

Interesting, I would never have thought of making hard kambucha but your infusions sounds good. You'll have to share some of your other favorites as you find them.

Great update!
