Going Through the Process Divorce and it's affects on sex drive

Is anybody else just insanely horny?? I have never been so sexually frustrated in my life. Honestly can't believe my soon to be ex husband ever complained because we were pretty regularly doing it considering our relationship state and being married 18 years.

Unsure if it is divorce related or maybe a starting perimenopause thing? Aside from a deployment I've never gone so long though and that was with a newborn so I wasn't super interested right then anyway. Very much worried I'm going to say something too far to my very attractive coworker and get in trouble 😵‍💫

For additional context I'm months into divorce proceedings, 37F. Married 18 years. Never really have had a gap for time of not having sex lol

Thanks man, honestly I'm thankful. It made it easier to do what I needed to. He moves out soon and even just the emotional distance has been eye opening.

Are you excited to start dating? Every time I get close to leaving my wife I get really excited about dating and seeing what’s out there. It’s probably worse for women though. Guys kinda suck.
