ping - I just told you MY story about going dark and having some results - nothing about connection between our sitch or that I think there may be OM - sorry if I made you think that, it wasn't my intention. - every sitch is a world on its own. Going dark with kids it is very different and only partially possible - and needs some planning - but for me is possible because I can stay with the kids after school without having to stay with W - "busy at work". She thinks I am dating, because she sees me always dressed up and taken care - she told me that, I try to be vague "I am seeing some new PEOPLE but I am not dating anyone". She said she doesn't want to know if I'm dating or not but she understand I am free like she is - since she served me the divorce papers - I said that, since we have kids, my responsibility toward my family and my M are not dictated just by a stupid piece of paper.
