Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[newmama]

on page 17 so far...there is some advice given to you that I could use like learning that my WH's mood: BAD= GOOD and GOOD=BAD, not to overanalyze (which I have done but used to do waaaay more than lately), ignore words, and only pay attention to 50% actions. Why bother with 50%?

Also...am considering starting to date as soon as I file.It will definitely boost my self esteem and I hate to say this, but honestly believe that
"the best way to get over someone is to meet someone else" If you notice, that is why WAS are able to say ILYBINILWY...they are "over" us temporarily until their affair ends.
Now, I am not saying that I will jump into the arms of another to escape loneliness and lead the other guy on. I am saying DATING. Which means going out, laughing, having a drink, maybe kiss, take it slow. No serious relationships.Date more than one person at a time, but let them know.

WH abhorred when his ex wife and ex girlfriends would flirt with other guys in front of him to purposefuly "try to make him jealous." He saw it as manipulative and cruel. That's why I won't do it as a manipulation technique. I will only date to help ME not to try and get him back. I just don't want to have to wait for the entire D process to be finalized before I could start to have some fun.

Now, honestly, my heart isn't quite ready to give up on WH yet. So I am saving this desire to date until my January deadline.
