"He made the best pasta" ... "I can't get used to sleeping alone.".. "Every time I hear Bach I weep."
When a love relationship has run it's course what is the hole that has been created by the absence of the other?
I suppose people get used to having someone around and depending on them fulfilling their role.
For instance, many people don't even learn how to program their TVs since their sig. other always did it. Or the other person may have been the one who kept up the financial stuff..paid bills, balanced the checkbook, etc. You may be used to your routine together..watching movies, rubbing each others' feet, etc.
But a similar thing happens when a beloved pet dies, also.
Literally nothing. Wait... nope. Nothing.
Lucky you!?
@Davekp well NOW I’m lucky! The 20 years spent with someone who sucked every ounce of time and energy and life from me and contributed literally nothing to my life - not great.
