I'm glad I was able to find your thread, because I've enjoyed the advice and encouragement you've been able to provide me in my struggles.
I think we have similar circumstances with our partners, and we both seem to understand the hows and whys of DBing. However, that doesn't make it any easier and I too, find myself missing my W terribly, even though we're living under the same roof.
In any event, I'll keep a watch on your situation and put in whatever two cents that may help along the way. I'm also hoping to continue to hear from you as my situation goes through its daily ups and downs.
You sound like you are doing very well, and I'll agree w/ Kalni, the dating may be a great thing. Just try and keep it friendly and not emotional or physical or you'll be abandoning your M before you may be truly ready to do so.
In the meantime, the attention and confidence you can get from attractive others is very, very healthy and healing for you right now.
Continue to enjoy life and I'll talk with you later. RTL
