K - great advice from Michelle, especially on the timeline thing. It's hard to get out of your head but it's much better if you can.

Interestingly, though I can't read her mind I'd bet that she has some timeline "stuff" going on in her head, too.

My H was acting just plain WEIRD during the whole month before and after our "bombiversary" and then the holidays were right after. Once all that passed it was like we both breathed this deep sigh of relief and things were calmer.

Yes, it IS all about her - you only control you.

As for the moving on/dating question.. I think as long as you want an R with her it's probably unfair to you AND any potential GF to begin dating, at least seriously. Just adds a level of complexity and possible hurt that's tough to work through.

But - if you are ready to truly move on, go for it. Make sense?
