Thank you but what some of my friends mean by that is completely different from what we call “moving on” I think.

Some of my friends do clearly suggest that I should be open to seeing other people. One of them often kind of jokes about it like “Are you going to the gym obsessively for a reason? (hinting there might be some guy I like works out there?)” or “Or I want you to go to these parties Doctors go and marry one!” I know she's trying to cheer me up or something but every time she says something like that it honestly really makes me mad.

I guess I'm struggling with how people think of "separation"
For me, we separate so we can take our time to figure out what we want. But it seems like a majority in our society encourages separated people date. I guess it's a way to go and I know I won't do it not because I'm against it but only because I don't have a slightest interest/desire to date anyone else right now. I will date a new person or my H when I'm ready to move on, but I don't need my friends to constantly encourage me to do it.
