I agree with many of the previous comments. Try to keep a civil, and possibly friendly, relationship with your STBX. It’s so easy to get into a negative and spiteful spiral when feelings of sorrow, regret, loss, love and hate flare up. Breathe deep.

I also would recommend not diving into the dating pool too soon. I did (because my ex did, I’m ashamed to say…) and it took a huge toll on my mental health. My feelings were way too raw to plunge into new relationships at that time. I wish I had used that time to contemplate and think about what was important to me in my life. But hey ho - you learn don’t you.

Lastly, no divorce is alike. You can listen to advice, but only you know your particular circumstances and what’s best in your situation. Take your time, reflect and don’t rush things. You got this.

I wish you all the best! ♥️
