Post-Divorce Reality Check

So, I recently got separated from my spouse after about five years of marriage. It's like that moment in a bad rom-com where you suddenly realize your life has been an illusion and now you're facing the real world with nothing but the clothes on your back. Literally, though, I had to downsize quickly and ended up moving into a small apartment all alone. The funny thing is, while I was married, my sex life kind of hit the snooze button. But now that it's just me, there’s this unexpected spark. Last night, for instance, I found myself calling an old friend from college who’d always had a crush on me. We met up at his place, and let's just say it was way more exciting than my usual routine with my ex. It felt both liberating and a bit like cheating, which is odd because it’s all consensual and we’re both single now. Guess I’m figuring out what adult freedom really means.
