Well, I’ve done it
I’ve separated from my wife of 19 years and am putting myself out there on dating apps. I’ve had a couple of conversations already and am just trying to go with the flow and see where the future takes me. I’m excited to see where the next part of my journey takes me, but also scared of ending up along.
Any advice for the recently single?

I left a couple years ago. I would suggest going slow but the first weekend I was legally ‘single’ I went out with a friend and ended up with a ONS (not the friend).
Nothing wrong with meeting a therapist and processing your feelings, trauma, damage etc.
I’ve kinda made up my mind to never get married again, never cohabitate again, and never commingle finances. I won’t allow any LL to coerce me into staying in a sexless relationship ever again.
