tired of feeling this way

Hi, Haven't posted in awhile. Been going through some confusing things. My ex husband and I are trying to get into therapy to see if we have made a mistake in leaving the relationship. I'm more anxious than ever as we had an argument/heated discussion last night about what brought our relationship to an end. He has no idea why it ended, he says! How frustrating, as lots of things brought the relationship to its' knees. What I want to know is if anyone feels more anxious when faced with the idea of facing life alone, without a partner. I am facing the unknown of living in an apartment that I pay for on my own, not sure if I can continue with the money I make. I don't like my job, but seem to be stuck right now. How do people seriously cope with the stress of facing life without anyone to share the struggle with? I don't know if I can make it on my own. I have never been more confused and scared in my life. Can anyone identify? Any suggestions? Thanks, Susan

I have been on my own, raising 2 dd's for several years. It's a challenge to face life alone or with a partner. IMHO if you can't find the balance that you need on your own, then you won't find it with a partner, either. Placing so much responsibility in facing fears, anxieties, finances & your future on a relationship is very unrealistic. Plenty of folks learn to live on their personal earnings & make the rent payment. Therapy is never a bad thing. Especially if you have issues to work out from the relationship break-up. Nothing positive comes from the *he said-she said* arguments. A third party can act as
