I'm not suggesting you have input on his choices, but in certain towns you might find out anyway. To my mind, why not have it come from the source instead of hearing about it third hand? Do you think he told your best friend that because he knew it would get back to you and he was avoiding the conversation? My H goes around acting like he has sworn off women, which is ridiculous. Obviously he will date again. He claims not for a long , long time. His insinuation is that our R has messed with him too badly. But he refers regularly to when I will be dating someone, even though I've made it clear I have no interest in doing so and am not the one who intiated the separation. This whole business is touchy and weird. But we've agreed that while we're in the "still deciding" phase that we aren't going to complicate it with other people. Even with that agreement in place, there is no way to tell if each other is being honest. And there's always the "not dating but lining up who I will date as soon as I decide" factor, which to me is the same thing. Ick. Sorry you are going through this.
