I had to grieve the loss of my marriage.  I had to come to terms with the fact it was over and accept that fact.  It was a very difficult mutual decision to split but one my ex almost immediately moved on from which was a big blow to my self esteem.  I had to get over the feeling of rejection and not being wanted.  I also had to learn how to be alone.  I needed to figure out who I was as an individual as opposed to half of a partnership.  You do tend to lose yourself after so many years sharing your life with another person.

I dated someone casually for a few months who was a really great guy- kind, funny, genuine and attractive (no, for whoever is bound to ask, he didn't make over $150k).  I felt nothing for him.  I enjoyed his company, yes, but I just couldn't muster up one little bit of emotional attachment.  It was almost like I was emotionally dead inside and literally not able to develop any feelings whatsoever.  That's when I really knew I wasn't ready.[/quote]

Very insightful post, you sound like a good person in a difficult situation. I hope you find some inner peace and strength to move on, you deserve it.[/quote]
