Everybody has a different pace, Mari. I'll say it again, there's no finish line you cross. The fallout from divorce is something that will probably be with ALL of us for the rest of our lives. At some point, you just know you're sick of the shit, or you are ready to NOT be alone anymore. I spent the last ten years of my marriage alone. My kids were grown and out of the house, so I didn't even have their presence to distract me from how alone I was. My life was stultifying. I'm no longer grieving for my dead marriage. I no longer miss my X. I like my own company, but I've had an awful lot of it for a very long time. And no, I don't ever think that I must suck to be with someone so soon after my divorce. I'm grateful for it. I feel very centered and happy. And not at all like I'm giving away part of my identity. It's completely different, and maybe it depends on who you're with.
Everybody's experience is different.
