Here is where I’m stuck. I read everything, lots of stories and it seems like the only people happy post divorce are those who partnered back up. I’ve got kids who need me and I just can’t date. I know people do it but I won’t. So on a good day this means I’ll be tied up for at least 10 more years. I want them to be fully functional, on their own adults before I even attempt another relationship.
Please tell me this is my codependency talking. Will I be unhappy until I’m in another relationship?
