I think the hardest part of being on my own now is trying to find my own identity. When you are in a relationship for 17+ years and married for 15 years.
When you haven’t been apart for more than a week + and have always done everything together. Things feel weird and not natural.
The simple tasks in everyday life feel lonely. It’s only been 5 or so months and trying to navigate my new life and the feeling of not having my wife (soon to be ex) and daughter around all the time was a scary feeling.
Traveling to Hawaii gave me a glimpse of being by myself it was a great experience, but also looking around at all the couples, families and people together made me feel a bit more isolated and alone.
The reason I decided to do it was because I told myself that I would never be able to do it. I wanted to prove myself wrong and take a step out of my comfort zone.
One foot in front of the other!!! Keep it moving forward.
