I humbly ask for prayers. I have just been left by a man who I thought was true to me and would be my life partner. I had been single for 9 years and this man courted me for 9 months, we had a relationship for a little over a year and he left me for his ex-wife. They had been separated/divorced for 6 years and he assured me they were over and that he was happy to be starting a new life with me. Then out of nowhere, this. As if I never existed or mattered. I handled it very calmly when we discussed it a little over a week ago, but I'm dismayed. I'm in such deep anguish that my entire body aches, not to mention my heart, chest and soul. Worst of all, I'm feeling SO incredibly ANGRY. At him, at her, at God, at myself, at anyone who looks/seems happy and/or in love. I'm ashamed at feeling this way. I'm normally a very peaceful, loving person. It makes me lash out at others and that makes things so much worse. I hear men talk about their wives and I want to scream until I pass out. Why not meeee???? Why does everyone else receive the love, the partner they seek except me??? Please pray that I can overcome the pain, that I can work through the anger without isolating myself further and that the true love life partner I've been praying for and longing for for so long finally finds me. Thank you.

With everything going on in the world, it seems trivial but, I'm drowning in my own loneliness and it scares me. I'm an only child from a broken home. I was a daddy's girl, but my father has been an alcoholic for most of my life and we are estranged. I was unable to have children, am middle-aged and have been single for a very long time. I finally entered into a relationship a year ago, only to now find it may not be as serious and committed as I thought it would be. I have friends, try to meet new people and stay active, I sign up for classes . . . but nothing seems to stick. I feel worthless (not being a mom or an auntie has a lot to do with it), insignificant and unlovable at times. I'm good to my friends and everyone around me, but even some of my 20+ year friendships have dissolved. The one thing I've always wanted more than anything is true love in my life--love of a good man; love of family; a family of my own--yet it seems to always elude me. I pray and meditate and try to be the best person I know to be, yet it feels like my destiny in life is to be alone.

I am currently looking for work in another state as the job situation where I am is dire and therefore, so are my finances. Just hoping this is the right move for me professionally, economically and personally. Thank you in advance. Prayer works!
