Welcome to the site mate

Hey James - you've been through a lot and it's good that you are willing to take the plunge to move forward - you'll find loads of support and advice on here and this site if full of people who know what they are talking about. As a few people have said, there are a few boys that are from your area and it would be good for you to chat to them and go out with them to help increase your social circle as well as learning from them in the field. Welcome Brother.

Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome and cheers Shark, really appreciated your comments there. I'm actually really optimistic about the future now and really do think the best times of my life are to come, not something I would have thought 5 months ago. I didn't realise just how much being in an unhealthy relationship was taking out of me and I already feel like a completely different person. Having allowed this marriage to isolate me from other people is very sad for someone like me especially now it is over, I just want to put myself out there as much as possible and make some new friends. And well, having a little success with the ladies would be a nice bonus too

Well, as I say bud you've found a great site full of people who will help you and support you so if you need anything - just ask us :-)
