For me, the first two weeks were the worst after w moved out. I'm still not detached but it definitely helps me knowing that the cake eating stopped. W can no longer have any of the benefits that comes with being mrs BenB. And while it may not be for everybody, it's made it easier not to think of her as much.

But we don't have kids so not sure if it will be the same for you. And I'm introverted so I thrive being alone. But like I said the first two weeks were horrible and I was scared of being alone. Now I'm enjoying it and started dating again. I'm now remembering all the fun parts of being single. But it sure took a while to get to where I am today.
