Reminiscing is for women. Sack up, be grateful for your newfound freedom, and do something productive.

In that case -- this thread is worthless without pics.
Otherwise, I recommend high mileage, and nothing impulsive for a bit.

you're a complete and utter douche. turn the inner eye and behold what you have become. you should be ashamed.
op I am sorry.
It's natural to reminisce. Remember that. Don't get mad at yourseld for doing it . Realize it is part of the process . Keep looking forward.
One foot in front of the other is a good analogy. Stay busy if you want to reminisce less.
Good luck.
Hey Wejo,
Thank you for this, I'm truly struggling right now...🙠I know it will get better but it's hard right now. Thanks.
Divorce only exists because marriage is even worse.
Once people stop bringing the government into their relationships things can begin to assume a sense of humanity and dignity.

Hi Trying 2,
You're not alone. This week marks what would have been my 22nd anniversary. I'm a woman that left a 20 year marriage two years ago and it was tough, but overall, I'm so glad I left. I now enjoy my freedom, do what I want, when I want.
Anniversaries and major holidays can be tough. I usually go back to a Divorce Support Group I found on meetup dot com in my town. It helps to hear from others who are going through their own struggles ... that you're not alone.
It helps to date, to be active, go out hiking, running, to concerts. There's a whole world out there of people who are wanting to meet others and have friendships and relationships. Chin up. This tough patch will pass and you'll feel better soon. Do something to remember the day you married, acknowledge it, and then go out and do something nice for yourself. Get a massage, soak in a hot tub, swim in a pool, get out of your regular routine and treat yourself to something special. You deserve a little kindness.
You both post-nuptially shut off your husbands. No wonder they left.

What makes you think the original post is written by a woman? I think it's a man.
If I could stay the same age forever and not die, I would totally stay single. But in the real world people age and if you want to have kids you have to find somebody.
Divorce doesn't suck.
Staying in a failed relationship for whatever reasons that society dictates is what sucks. This week enjoy doing whatever the hell you want to do without having to discuss, compromise, justify, clarify, or check-in with anyone for the first time in 25 years.
Enjoy the best part of the rest of your life. Cheers to you.

Yeah come on Hey now, there's too much sucking up in this world as it is.
We need more kindness and less cold.
To the divorced guy: it can't be easy. However, more time for running.
Maybe it wasn't meant be. Life is short enjoy the rest of the ride.
And like OP said run more, pick a race and train like a MF.

It does dude. You'll get through it.
A very funny comedian had a great take on it. Jim Florentine is his name, this is from his podcast

Also I love this quote
"Here's what you do - you embrace the pain and suffering, and unleash it on your training. Don't talk about it, don't date other girls, don't tip into the ice cream tub - no siree, that stuff is gonna make you feel better. I suggest you sit around and wallow in your misery, and then when it comes time to run - you unleash that pent up fervor onto the roads, trails, track, what have you. Grow out a big long beard, shun society, make yourself seem robotic and callous toward the world so that the only thing that matters in life is running fast. In short use your broken heart as a tool for acquiring more demons."
Getting divorced sucks! Actually being divorced is great. Hang in there. It gets better.
