LoginBeing single again after a years-long relationship can be weird, to say the least. Le Goy says. Signing up for dating apps with the sole purpose of making your ex jealous, say, or to avoid sleeping alone might not be the best idea. Or you walked out of that awkward cafe meetup having discovered the perfect work-from-home spot. Seeing dating as an opportunity to experience and learn new things can make it fun—no matter how well or poorly the date itself goes. They may be exhausting and leave you thinking of your ex more than ever.
My heart goes out to you. No matter how mutual the decision was, coming out of a year relationship is extremely difficult and since you were only 15 when it started, your entire adult identity has been formed within the confines of that relationship. Relationship dissolution is always stressful, but finding yourself alone at 31 is particularly so. A break-up can affect almost every aspect of your daily life, from where you live, to what you do in your free time, to the even bigger questions. You may want to have children and may be worrying about when that will now happen. On the upside, this is also an exciting time for you — a fresh start and a new journey. While your desire to move on is understandable — you have, after all, grown up as one half of a whole — I would urge you to pause, and take a breath before you start dating again.
There are few things as daunting as diving back into the dating scene after a big breakup. You know the ones: dramatic, painful, and completely earth-shattering. And so starting anew, and re-entering the complex world of modern dating, is an intimating prospect to say the least.
