Finding Freedom in the Aftermath of My Marriage

I’m a military spouse who recently went through a divorce. We had been together for years, but our paths diverged as I found myself yearning for more than just the life we built around deployments and relocations. When it came to light that my ex and I no longer shared the same dreams or desires, there was an overwhelming sense of relief mixed with a tinge of sorrow. After the divorce, I discovered a newfound freedom in exploring different facets of myself sexually. It felt empowering, like rediscovering who I am beyond just being a wife and military partner. There’s this one night, not too long after, where everything came to a head. I met someone online with similar interests in kink and roleplay, things my ex never understood. We connected on a deep level, both mentally and physically, exploring boundaries and fantasies that had been simmering beneath the surface of our marriage. It felt liberating but also left me questioning if it’s normal to have these intense desires after such a significant life change. What do you all think? Is this a common feeling or am I just spinning my wheels?
