Hey Newmama... happy to see that you are making projects to keep yourself busy! I know you will be a smart cookie when it comes to the dating game... and if you need to go out and just meet people to keep you chin up then I say go for it!
Good to hear you had a nice time running into your old coworkers... you dont have to tell anyone until you are ready. Its not because you are hiding the truth or embarrassed its because you dont want to make it the topic of conversation when you run into old pals... i do the same thing. People will understand. And you are ready you will know...
Funny how we often referred to our WAS as the "neighbor who got us pregnant" as your WH is literally becoming your neighbor... well, as long as he doesnt live right next door, WHO CARES! Try to shrug it off... and better for you when you are living your life and content and happy and your WH will be close enough to see it all! honestly dont let that get to you...
