I have been trying to read your entire thread and don't remember running across any posts between you and coach regarding walking the line of R talks. Maybe I just haven't gotten that far yet or maybe I just missed it. I will go back and take a look.
As far as me ready to date others. I am not at that place yet. I still would like to focus on my R/M and don't think dating someone else right now is the answer. Besides, I would hate to drag some innocent person into this mess knowing I still have strong emotional ties to H. I am getting further along in detaching as I know regardless of what happens, I know that I will be okay and come out a better person in the long run. But I do firmly believe that emotional ties and detachment are two different things.
I will internalize what you have said and sleep on it as I haven't applied this new revelation of mine to the 48/72 hour rule.
Happy Thanksgiving to you.
