I wish I had men hanging off of me so I could pick someone to spend MY time with and get some of MY needs met (God I could do with a big manly hug and just feeling protected).
You have to be careful about that, since you're not divorced. If you end up divorced, there will be a time when you can go into a new relationship with respect for yourself, your partner, your daughter's legitimate needs from you, etc. Getting yourself mixed up with someone now is probably not going to be best for your long-term interests.
Do you have any girlfriends to spend time with? Any who've been through a separation/divorce themselves? They'd be the best and safest company in "the real world" right now. Maybe your mother is someone you can talk to?

Went and saw Enchanted tonight with d6. She was desparate to see it but I wasn't keen because of comments that have been made on here about it cutting a bit too close to the bone. They were right...it was hard to watch in places - I'm just glad d didn't realise I was crying.
I remember taking my kids to see "Because of Winn-Dixie" a few weeks after their mother left. It wasn't easy to watch it, but at least the theater was dark. It takes time to get "re-wired" emotionally, but eventually things like that don't automatically trigger pain and sadness.
Knowing that it won't be so bad later doesn't change how it feels now, but it might help you choose how to express how it feels now.
