You would not be the first person to be unable to detach or move on, without a replacement. Most WAS's have OP in their lives for this very reason; they're Not happily married and yet they don't choose to leave or file for divorce=== until they have OP...Though LBSers will say "the WAS should have filed for divorce first, and THEN dated, not cheated!!..." the reality is that the WASs don't often do that first, (without someone in mind at least). For many LBSers and moving on, it's the same.
In a sense, I said the same thing as 25. Only I classify the number as much higher than she does.
Didn't God himself say that it is not good for man to be alone? Isn't that why he created Eve? If our own creator said that, how could my statement be so ignorant? And I didn't say EVERYONE is like that, but I think more people are like that than are not.
Most people don't get left behind and think I will just be happy the rest of my life by myself. Most people look to the future with hope of someone else coming into their lives if they haven't already started bringing someone else into their life. Therefore, there is still a dependency on people for most people in some form of manner relationship wise.
I think I have heard most people on this site speak of someone else down the road if their current M does end. That is why I say they have not completely detached from the dependency of a relationship.
I won't apologize for that.
Stuck, you yourself have another woman in the wings that you have been spending time with should your current M ultimately fail. Ask yourself if you have truly detached because you are fine being alone the rest of your life, or if this other lady has helped in the process of you detaching from your W and giving you hope with someone else.
