Things were going great for me. I’m finally starting the renovation of the new place. It’s exciting and scary at the same time since I know it’ll look great once it’s done but renos never go as planned. I had to go back to the STBXW’s place since all the tools are there. While I was there, I tried to help my son troubleshoot why he couldn’t play his online game on an old Dell I had there. It took 3 hours to troubleshoot, install the right OS, etc. The whole time I had to listen to the STBXW talking and laughing with the kids. I came back tired, lonely, missing my wife and kids, etc. I know tomorrow I’ll be in a better state but I needed to get how I’m feeling off my chest so I can sleep. No need to respond. I’m just glad there’s a place to vent when I need to.
Edit 7/17/2020: They say it’s like a rollercoaster, ups and downs. That was a low. I starting to go back up as expected. I did a lot of work in the new place and the painters are now in and should be done by Monday. I figured out how to make up height difference between the flooring for when I put down LVP next week (a big win for me) and I spent the afternoon with my daughter. The only bad part of today was that I watch GoT season 3, Ep 9. No spoilers but WOW didn’t see that coming. Thanks for all comments. I’m not so much more the loss of my wife as much as the loss of the old times as a family. I know I need to create the new times with my kids. Once the new place is finished Things will be a lot better.

That's wishful thinking...
The women actually are happier now that we are gone. Most likely they got to stay in the house, they get kid-free weekends to party with their friends and Mr. Wonderful, and they are getting 30% to 50% of your after-tax income to do it with. Not only that, but their hormones have changed, they aren't in "find a man to nest with" mode anymore, they are pre-menopausal testosterone spiked "independent" women that have just "found themselves" for the first time.
The women we fell in love with are dead and gone.
The good news is that there are 20 million other testosterone spiked independent women that have no problem putting out on the first or second date to us. So get yourself in shape, dress sharp, get some hobbies, and when you are done grieving you will start slaying pussy like there's no tomorrow.

Time takes time... I'm on month 13. I thought I was going to die from heart break for the first 4. Now I wouldn't go back if you paid me.

Give it a year... You're going to realize she's not even that good looking and probably was a real bitch to you for a decade. Honestly, I wouldn't even "swipe right" on my ex now and if I did by accident, when I realized shes an unemployed twice divorced housewife with 5 kids and a grand-daughter I would definitely pass on her. I can't even imagine what the fuck her 35 year old, never married, no kids boyfriend is doing with her. He must be a real winner...

Oh brother! I'm so sorry to hear that.
Do you wonder why you are still stuck on her? I have found counseling to be very helpful in identifying my attachment wounds and the causes of them.
