Good report on your experience going out! Sounds like you hade a good time, allowed you to switch out of the LBS role and step into the experience of feeling desired! That's a nice support to the ego.
It also seems like you're approaching it all from a grounded, not reactive place, so good for you on this! I'm sure your xw is curious to say the least...she really has always wanted to keep tabs on you and particularly around your seeing other women or not.
In any case, I wish you well through the holidays and will be back checking in in 09.
