My fiance and I are splitting up after 5 years and I feel like I'm starting over again.
I found the task interesting and enjoyable.
I would have liked to see an indication that my partner was typing a response.

Wow, that is a long time. Breaking up is never easy, but it's especially rough when you were in a long term relationship.

I know how that feels. It's really hard at first, but it gets easier. There are some benefits to being single after all.

It might help to look for a new hobby. That will give you something to focus on, and it could help you meet new people too. My main hobby is baking.
