Desert Woman, Adventure Woman, Amazing Co-Worker Girl, Tremendous Woman, and last but not least, Hypocrite Ex Wife? Dude, your life is starting to sound like a Marvel comic book and you are "Dr Lodo - Leader of the X-Women".

I need to be like you and M from Tennessee and start coming up with cool names for women I date. I've got BiomedicalChickenResearchOwnerLady and MultiRestaurantOwnerLady. I think a NoStringsAttachedSexLady might be what is needed for me now.

All jesting aside, it seems like you are getting along just great (except for being still laid off). One thing of caution I think is to try to avoid comparing each one to one another. Take your time and enjoy good conversation with the opposite sex. Eventually, you will find one where the both of you just click and fall in love. Dont forget to keep some trusting relationships with men.

Would you say, that having gone through the heartbreak and DBing, that you have come out the other side with a much better perspective on relationships and that you are a much improved Lodo?
