how do you feel after your divorce?

[young@heart]

just wondered how everyone felt once they were divorced? do you regret it, miss your partner or are you pleased it happened?

How long does it take to accept it all etc? just wondering as am newly divorced

I accepted my divorce fairly quick. It was pretty obvious that my wife wasn't going to change her mind.
I went thru loneliness, very mild depression but many of the symptoms.

I went out and got active, hiked hundreds of miles in the mtns of NH, went to dances, hung out with my guy friends, went on a vacation by myself. Lost my job, nice for a while (forced long vacation), then worked temp jobs, played the stock market.

I did have a rebound relationship with a lady I hike with for several months, that helped as well.

Some of the things I did were great as a guy, but I can see how they could be not all good for a lady.

lol not all good for a lady. I tried all the keeping busy etc for the first few years when we were separated but I still miss him. I still get home to an empty house etc

I still miss seeing my son on a daily basis.

the roar of the silence just don't get deafened all that easily.

For me especially I hated grocery shopping and Sunday nights after evening services at church. It was just too quiet after the weekend.

But...I have met and married a wonderful woman and she does seem to get some of that silence fixed...not all...because I miss my son the most.

I don't miss my Ex...I just don't.
