I guess your right--it's just so hard when your entire focus in life was your family. I have three daughters and always spent a lot of time with them. I get to have them half of the week but that other half is very lonely. I am constantly thinking about them and the family we once were, including my wife. My wife is talking dating now...this is my next quandry. I explained to her that I can't and don't want to control her. But I don't want her to start dating--we have only been seperated 3 weeks! But if she decides to start should I start dating also?? I don't want to but I'm afraid she will see it as a sign of weakness. She said something to the effect that she felt "sorry" that I was going to go to Daytona beach my myself. This is after she angrily said she "knew" that I was going with someone. I know they say not to believe 50% of what a MLC says but should I address the dating thing at all?? Should I ignore it?? My friend told me I should stop talking to her except with kid issues--is that a good idea. I am very anxious about all this. I have tried to ignore the talk of a D but she keeps wanting me to read her "list" of what she wants. Should i just give in and let it happen?? I am not sure if I can imagine getting back together id she is has sex with another guy...I mean dating isn't all about sex--but that's where it eventually leads...please help
