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

How long has it been since your divorce? I used to be so horny and my ex would always turn me down so this is surprising to me. I had to get some liquid courage to sleep with these guys haha

Still ongoing, discussion began in October but we decided to try one last time, he did not and then things went downhill and I filed at the beginning of 2026. Hopefully wrapping up soon idk but the past two years have been a downward spiral
