Okay but I need a bit of advice for dealing with the separation anxiety and how to survive the going dark period but everyone seems to have dissipated when I need them the most.
For me, I did a lot of working out, reading, going out with friends/family, occupational pursuits (joined toastmasters, educational opportunities, etc.), spent time with my 2 sons, recreation (basketball, golf, bowling), travel, and other trivial pursuits.
The key is taking the focus off her and putting it on you. At first it can be a little clumsy or off balance for you. Your always so use to doing things with significant other. At the very least your use to coordinating your separate activities with her. You no longer need to 'check in' or compromise your activities with her. This will actually be a pretty liberating thing for you after a while. I grew to enjoy it and still do after 3 and 1/2 years. I'm actually pretty shy about commitment anymore.
After a while, I got so use to doing 'my own thing' that I thought less and less about where she was or what she was doing. The anxiety dissipated.
Your going to have to start enjoying your own company again.
