I know some of you are mad; maybe I made the wrong decision.
Toss that sh*t in the trash bin, man! No one here knows if you made the wrong decision, and everyone will acknowledge that. Maybe even YOU don't know if you made the wrong decision yet.
But you made it. So execute. Make the best of it. Make better than the best of it.
Old Ben Franklin said that the worst vice is ADvice. So I'll talk about me. Because I'm good at that
I'm open to "dating" other women while I'm separated. WAW called the tune -- "we're on our own now." Okay, fine. @robx posted some things on jealousy on my 7th thread, and I've started to see that he's right. Now if you're not going to roll that way on the basis of faith or morals, then I approve 100%. But if you're not going to do it because it gives WAW "permission" to do it, I'd submit you might want to reevaluate.
She's walked-away, man. She doesn't need "permission" to do anything. She's going to do what she's going to do.
Puppy, robx, LuckyGirl -- they've all suggested that you have an opportunity here to show WAW who orangedog is. Remember in high school -- the cheerleader would never go out with you until some other girl did? It's this weird female dynamic -- they need some kind of tribal stamp of approval. You know this from your married years -- what's the surest way of getting female attention in a bar? Wear a wedding ring.
Among all the orangedogs who orangedog "is" happens to be Desirable Guy orangedog (limited edition, very popular on eBay). So let WAW see that.
Remember what we see in DR and in so many threads here -- as we are, we LBS's, we aren't all that attractive to WAS's. When they look at us they see what they're leaving. But that's a highly selective, warped, incomplete picture. So fill in the blanks a bit.
If Da Ladeez are sending you warm messages, reciprocate.
Or not.
But make that decision for you, bro, not for us. We're just spectators, watching Team Orangedog -- you call the plays.
