I don’t think this is related to parenting specifically… However it’s something common with any split from a long term relationship where specific roles were divided like if one person used to do all the cooking etc. That for example is something we used to share but my dad for example after his split was lost and learning to use the microwave was a blessing!
I think you hit the nail on the head with opportunity for independance especially for anyone that hasnt really had the opportunity to learn new skills while in their relationship. It doesnt matter how roles are divided moving forwards if and when you find someone else but the feeling of not relying on anyone else and satisfaction of learning new things brings a lot of confidence. 😊
