Yes, the freedom is intoxicating! The single lifestyle does have some things to be said for it
My point and my message are that PMA is *everything*. It took me a long time to realize the difference between feeling down from time to time and feeling sorry for myself. I'm sensing some of the 'sorry for myself' vibe from your posts.
I don't envy you, your W is not coming across as a very pleasant person right now (severe understatement). For your own sake, you need to change the mindset. You may have messed up, but it's all in the past now and you only need to be concerned about the person you are now, not the person you were then.
You *will* be fine, but you have to *believe* that you will. Even when you are down. Once that sinks in, your whole world opens up for you!
And I give you props for the skydiving... I've talked about it for decades and still haven't psyched myself up to do that
