I'm sorry that you're experiencing some loneliness right now. Friendships, especially male friendships, take time to mature to a point where you can openly share your fears etc. I'm fortunate that one of my closest friends came in to town to visit me last night. We stayed up until 5am talking. I shared a lot of my current fears/frustrations with him and it helped.

Have you ever considered seeing a therapist? Don't knock it till you try it; it can be incredibly liberating to have someone you trust that will not judge you to talk to every week. Now that I mention this, I think I really could benefit from therapy myself.

I'm sorry to hear about your girlfriend, it sounds like you made the right choice. Good luck pal!
