i read your post on my thread so i decided to respond on yours. As far as the seeing other women, well its a tough issue... MY C told me a marriage takes at least 1-2 years to truly get over. But for who the one who gets hurt or the one doing the hurting. Well i was the one hurt and i soaked in pain for a while but i believe i have pulled myself out quickly and i dont want to go back to that pain again. I am not going to wait a year to interact with other "single" woman, unlike W's OM im not a homewrecker hehe and no offense the the profession of counseling but even C dont have the answers to everything. You have to do what your heart tells you. I am able to hold my composer around the W and not care whether she is with OM or not anymore. Meeting other woman and seeing other woman show interest in me and tell me i was the W one and only in a lifetime catch feels awesome. Hey i m not going to have a GF or even consider a wedding for a loooooooooong time if i ever do get married again. But my point is Atlas there is nothing wrong with taken things with a beautiful woman to a friendship status, and who knows from there. Chris the kids are tough, but it is actually what made this split between the W and I easier, bc i focused on the kids not my M. try it no do it,, it needs to be that way for now..
