The thing that is so frustrating is that the so called "European Question" is far from resolved in the UK. Brexit may be done in the EU, but it's going to be something of an original sin in UK politics for decades to come. The current Brexit deal would never have been voted for by the UK population had it been presented during the referendum. I see an alternate past where the UK had effectively become Switzerland or Norway, and potentially a future where it still does (once the current regime is out of the way and wounds are allowed to heal). Brexit would have just been an interesting bit of historical trivia had that come to pass. I'll never give up on the European Project personally, and it makes me deeply sad to cross the border and not have the Union Citizenship I always cherished. If it had been an option due to my ancestry, I would have gotten an alternative EU passport (as many if not most of my friends have). Brexit has made it infinitely more difficult to bring my fiancee into the country (in a bygone era we would have just Surinder Singh-ed as it's next to impossible for self-employed people to reunite with family in the UK), and has deeply degraded democracy in the UK (see proroguing parliament).
