Are you in love with your wife or a dream of what should have or could have been. It's so hard to separate, even several years after D, what it is your heart desires. I thought I wanted my ex-W back to, but looking back now, I can't even see why I did.
So cultivate these relationships. Give them a chance. Your wife wasn't "all that and a bag of chips", no one is. Sometimes it's easier to look at your ex-spouse with the rose colored glasses off when you have someone that treats you right for comparison. You don't have to jump in to a relationship, but dating is the way you find out if there is someone else for you. Ms. Houston sounds interesting because of the intangibles.
