That sounds about right. I read an article about Liam Neeson and how he kept himself super busy after his wife died suddenly from a head injury. He thought he was doing great because he had kept himself preoccupied. When he finally slowed down, the grief hit and he cried off and on for some time.
Divorce isn't much different...you are mourning the life of a marriage as well as the life you knew. Let it out. I am a bit over 4 years out from divorce. It took a good 2 years to start to feel better. I still have slips now and then. The biggest thing was to be comfortable alone. I wasn't really ready to have someone else in my life though I told myself I was.
Get comfortable in your own skin before you get too involved. No point in hurting someone else too.
