Will I ever not feel sad.

22 year marriage ended 11 months ago after he had an emotional affair. We tried again but it didn't work. He's now dragging out the divorce process, not supplying info needed, not telling me new address etc etc.
I feel exhausted by it all but just so sad and lonely. I've tried OLD but my hearts not in it and I m just not ready I think. I see couples everywhere and feel like I ll be dying old, lonely and sad. I avoid him where I can as I just get angry. My two teenagers are fine, my daughter has chosen not to have anything to do with him and she's happier.
Any positive stories of coming through the other side?

Dont do OLD. It'll just expose you to massive twats.

(Unless you really fancy one of them for a one night stand, in which case, go for it!)

A rule of thumb someone told me is that it will take twice as long in months as your relatonship lasted for years, for you to be "over it".

My marriage was 7 years so it took me 14 months to feel ready for dating. (In actual fact it took a lot longer.)
