Ignorance is bliss and I'm orgasmic

I wish i'd known about this place when my fiance dumped me.
I was on deployment in New Zealand. She played up, enjoyed it so much she gave me the arse (and genital warts courtesy of her new boyfriend) .
I could have done with a support network then but time became my friend.
I'm okay with myself now although i still struggle with the timing when trying to introduce the topic of STD's into the courtship process.
I spend my time now cultivating as many friendships as i can.
The kind of help and support needed during this type of crisis is seldom found in just one friend.
I also set (after the dumping) a bunch of achievable goals (physical and mental ) so, even though my thoughts were crazy, i was still getting results toward recovery.
I can still remember the day i realised that not only did i feel good physically but i was in a good mood as well. i kinda woke up and looked down and wondered where my gut had gone.
Joining a tennis club also helped.
At first i didn't want to burden my friends but i found they were excited to help ease the burden and some of the best companionship came from the least likely people.
Good luck UT
