I know a guy who did the complete opposite, after his separation he bought a tiny house in this mountaintop park that turned out to be over 55 so he had to lie about his age lol. He's got this huge fucking truck and a dune buggy and they let him have his dog there too even though it's over the park animal weight limit. He lives in an old people trailer park and has more freedom than when he was married.
Freedom is nice!
I was single for almost 4 years after the divorce and even though I was lonely I learned a lot about myself and went on adventures I wouldn't have done otherwise. Problem was back then I didn't have much money or I would have lived it up more.
Hadn't met that friend I mentioned before yet which would have been a good distraction.
But I definitely have a lifestyle/s I'd like to try if I was single again, that is if I still had the vitality, and I'm not talking about sexuality either. It basically comes down to reducing down to a simpler way to live alone but I'd take off here and there to do those energetic "bucket list" things too.
One thing is I'd like to live in the 5th wheel for a summer and go to gun matches all over the country and hang out with some of the personalities I've met here and other forums.
When single I remember at some point not having had a good hug in years from a women and when it happened I literally started shaking a little because it felt so good. I had no idea I was that starved for a hug, which sounds funny, lol but it's a thing.
I guess it's something I need way deep down and something my wife gives me every day.
