Been there too man, hang in there!  
Also remember it’s a two way street, no matter what she says, blame goes both ways. Take the high road always.

Been there done that. I agree with the friends and bar. Might I reccomend a good cigar IN YOUR HOME to really drive home the fact that you’re free?

I know it sucks, you’ll be sad for a while but it does get better.

I broke up with my SO after eight years this weekend, so I feel ya. My account is in the “loving an addict” thread in IMHO.

So far what’s helping me is surrounding myself with silliness and friends and the first two seasons of Breaking Bad.

Just remember you can have sex with anyone that will let you now.Get out there and bang someone hard as soon as possible,you will forget about the x and your trobles.Also,stay single for quite a while and bang as many as you can before you settle down again.

Married 2x divorced 1 with 10th years in between

Good luck to you
