There is something to be said for exploring a place on your own. Sure it's find to have a companion sometimes, but when you're alone you can do whatever YOU want to do.. at your pace. No waiting on other people, having to compromise, etc.

I find going to the movies when the SO is out of town relaxing. She falls asleep through most anyway

absolutely, it's kind of liberating and exciting to just set out and go for the experience, even though there are other co-workers with me, most of the time I like to just cut out on my own, kind of have my own routine in some places, get to know some of the locals at the bars/restaurants, whatnot

Is it weird to YOU? Or are you worried about what others think? I stopped worrying what other people think a long time ago.
The OP was that I think it is weird that there seems to be some kind of social shaming towards eating/ going to movies alone verses delivery. It’s like there’s a social expectation that people should be always accompanied in public when they’re not traveling unless they’re consuming alcohol.
Later posts were about how I also simply don’t enjoy eating out, going to sporting events, or seeing movies alone near as much as I do with family and friends because I enjoy the social aspect almost as much (if not more than) the activity itself. It’s like how Halo 2 and Goldeneye were always way more fun in multiplayer hunting your friends than in 1 player story mode.
I go to a lot of concerts by myself, but it’s always more fun with others.
Traveling alone is also fun because you can see and do exactly what you want at your own pace.
I just get tired of doing those things alone at home every day. It wears on me.

I backpacked around Europe by myself for about 3 weeks. I got really lonely a few times, but most of the time I had a blast just doing my own thing.

I always wanted to do stuff like that, but never could afford it even when I had the time.

That perception exists in your head.
If I see someone alone in a restaurant or a movie I don't judge them. Maybe others do, but the notion of judging people for this is odd to me.
Anyone that looks at a guy in a movie alone and pity's him has never been married with kids.

Man I feel bad for you but you can get over it.I went through sorta the same thing.I only had 2 years invested and we weren’t married but engaged.I was lower than an earthworm for awhile but eventually got over it and realized I was better off without her.In fact 3 years later she tried to get back together and I told her no thanks.She was married 3 times,her life was pretty much shite.
Sounds like your ex had issues,eventually you’ll realize you were better off without her.She was sorta cheating on you ,if she did it once she’ll do it again,I predict her current marriage will end up bad.
You need to figure out a way to get out of the funk you’re in.Therapy would help if you could get in to one,guess they’re overloaded with patients.
Maybe you could find somewhere to volunteer,do a good deed and would help you rebuild your self-esteem and meet people.
The worst thing to do is do nothing but mope around and feel sorry for yourself.You can have a good life but you have to make it happen.
Good luck to you,wishing you the best.
