J, don't give in to that curiosity of the OW....you will have to live with the consequences of all you do if you do that. Plus you would probably create a serious set back to dating Rich.

Also, if you are adamant that he give up the OW you need to be prepared to not see anyone else either...however, if it is only "dating" and not a "serious" thing then techinically it is not an exclusive thing...if you are okay with that, then I think you stand a chance. If Rich is okay with you seeing other people then I think you should proceed.

I would hate for you to be hurt by him again. You sound very excited and I worry that you will let him hurt you...but I suppose you have to let go and be vulnerable and perhaps that is what you are doing.

Please proceed with caution and no expectations.

I want to see you happy Jeanette, you have already had too much hurt and loss in your life.

Smooches,
Princesss

I say take it very slow.
