What do you miss about your ex? (Lighthearted-ish)

I miss his strength. I've had to ask more favours from friends than I am comfortable with and pay people to move heavy stuff around. It makes me feel like a fragile little woman and I hate it.
I miss him doing odd jobs around the home (see above). Although most the stuff that needs doing now he should have done when we were together and didn't.
I miss sharing expenses and not having to worry about whether I can afford the mortgage and bills.
That's not lighthearted is it? It was meant to be.

OhBliss your Dad is wise..listen to him! I was with my ex for 15 years, had DS 11 years into our marriage. It's not easy, but you're rushing a process that can't be rushed...day at a time! Date by all means, have some fun, but don't consider a relationship until you've found yourself again. I have spent my life jumping from relationship to relationship..its hugely wonderful to not want to/have to do that...my life is my own...so! x

PS : I am 3.5 years in..not quite recovered...so as I say, take your time.
