Good to see you had an excellent night on Friday night. It will get easier for you, and you are doing a fine job getting to know the locals and socializing. Keep it up buddy, your PMA seems to be improving.
Don't be surprised if your wife does give you space. She knows that she has instigated your sitch and will feel obligated not to speak up about your movements regardless of her feelings.
It is funny that your W likes Aussie wines. I think our wines are on par with anything the French can make.
I just got back from another date. My PMA has been lifted enormously. The female friend that I had dinner with was a bit "ga ga", and mentioned that she could not concentrate on our conversation because of my "amazing green eyes". No bullshit. And she was a good sort too (from the UK, lived in Australia for 12 years).
It is nice to be able to go out and do the things I used to do with W. I am slowly getting the confidence back and becoming the man my W was attracted to all those years ago. I will continue to DB, but will also make a concerted effort to enjoy myself during this time, as I have found it easier to detach and not worry about my sitch when I am having a good time.
I will also be cautious in regards to taking my friendships any further, as my priorities lay with my M and my family.
