I am quite appreciative of my friends that have been there when I needed them.
Everything you suggest has taken place. Just in an odd sequence.  |
Still...living on your own is going to be a major change with unexpected emotions. On one hand it's nice for the finality, the peace & quiet and the chance to start anew. On the other hand, there will be times you'll feel lonely and wish you could have the good times back, when things were easy and you had a best friend/lover next to you when you woke up in the middle of the night after a bad dream, etc. You won't be longing for your ex, don't get me wrong, but the marriage itself. I've been living on my own for a year now, and sometimes still get bummed about the loss of that relationship I relied on so frequently in the good old days. It was my pillar for basically 10 years before cracks started forming. A new relationship hasn't necessarily made these moments of loneliness go away entirely, but they occur less and less over time.
Just telling you what you *might* expect to go through. Right now it's possible you're riding a novelty high.
