I think most Europeans felt that, because after all the uk was a founding member and an integral and valued part of the union with an unprecedented amount of preferential treatment. When they left it was a bit like your partner leaves to fuck some homewrecker for a couple months before they realize how good they had it, but it’s ruined now.

The UK wasn't a founding member, unless you start counting from the Maastricht treaty, and that was really just a continuation of the others going back to about 1948.
