BigBen,
I went through a divorce about 10 years ago. My first wife and I were married 6 years when we split. We were both miserable, didn't want the marriage to work anymore, couldn't stand to be in the same room anymore, but didn't know what the hell to do about it.
We were young when we got married and still young when we split. It was touch and go at first. There were moments when we both thought that maybe we should just try one more time to make it work. Thankfully those feelings wore off in a few weeks.
I have to admit that those first few days were very surreal. My whole life changed and I wasn't sure what I was going to do. Within a matter of weeks, though, things got drastically better. I finally felt like myself for the first time in years. It was one of the greatest feelings I've ever experienced.
The best part is that after we split and divorced, we became friends. I don't know if this will be possible for you, but I do know from personal experience that it gets better very fast and you'll soon realize that this was one of the best decisions you could have made for yourself.
I wish you the best as you start your life over.
