I agree with LD. Go out and have fun. It's definitely not easy when you feel the world caving in around you, but like the book says...you need to be the person you were before when you were dating. Be confident and hold your head up. You've given her absolute control over you. Take that control back and show her that you're not going to be a victim any more.
If she doesn't like it, then tough. I'm not saying be confrontational with her, just don't give in to everything she wants. Set your own boundaries rather than having her fence you in. Let your kids be your strength.
My kids are mine. My vows are my strength. I knew what I needed to change and it's definitely not easy, but it can be done. My wife and I are physically separated so it is harder, but it has allowed us to both clear our heads so that the anger goes away.
Heck, my wife claimed she was "afraid" to be in the same room with me 3 months ago, but now we get along fine. Just counting one step at a time.
If she wants to go out with other people ... let her. You can't stop her any way. Show her you are the better man. YOU ARE THE BETTER MAN.
