You won’t miss it.

First of all, because you hopefully will have developed a new social network, based on the common experience of divorce, or shared passions, sports or hobbies. And on the odd occasion when you do find yourself at a dinner party surrounded entirely by couples, you will likely feel a tad restless. Not that you don’t love your old friends, you do! But you long to connect with others who share the recent adventure of reinvention.
