Guys - thank you all, I appreciate the support.

This doesn't have to do with my W, and I'm not trying to manipulate a reaction from her with this.

I think what Kettricken is saying is, is this healthy for me? Is it fair to the other person? This woman does know me, and my W, and I said to her - you know where I am with this. I do not want to be selfish, I do not want to "replace" my W, and I want any next relationship I have to be based on a real foundation, not a reaction.

She has come out of a bad marriage, but is further along in the process. I think she understands all this.

I do not plan to be irresponsible or reckless, and I'm trying to be really aware. It would be EASY to blind myself to red flags.

So - thank you everyone, I value your opinions, supportive and critical.

That said, the hardest part is watching my W go through this now.

It is time for me to move out.
