MLC BS/2?

[Jack_Three_Beans]

Patrick,

This is always a difficult subject.

You're human, we are social creatures, you want attention. You deserve attention. You're wife is doing this why can't you.

Well, the truth is you can.

Here are the downfalls of that path.

It is hypocritical to say you want your marriage and to date other people. And the kettle who has been in the fire is suggesting the pot is black.

What example are you showing your daughters? That a physical want is more important than morals? In a couple of years you are going to want their morals as high as they can be. You cannot say: "Do as I say not as I did." You will have no footing. Be the man you want them to use as a template for a boyfriend or husband.

Worst case:
You and this unknown woman hit it off, and you do so really really deeply. Your wife wants to reconcile, she actually despite everything that has happened wants to try and work it out between you. Your a Christian man I believe, do you toss your marriage now that your wife has finally gotten clear enough of her MLC to actually start regretting her choices?
Now YOU get to hurt someone. Your wife, who you are still married too, or this unknown lady who doesn't deserve any of the pain.

Right now you are vulnerable. Please read that a bunch of times.
You are vulnerable.
Your self esteem has holes in it that would sink an aircraft carrier. You are confusing sexual wants, with needs. Take a long shower instead. You crave contact, preferable the soft good smelling kind of hugs that woman are great at giving.
You will make POOR choices like this.

Do not rush into another relationship, even if you think it is temporary even if you only think it is to fulfill a physical want. You are not ready, you will bring pain, and that pain is your fault. That pain will flow, there is no stopping it.

Temptation comes in through the door we intentionally leave open.

Close that door Patrick.
