Antlers, I have no doubts that at some point in the future you will be ready for a new R as the new Antlers... confident, compassionate, with good boundaries & healthy self-respect and respect for others.
I am glad you & your son are having a wonderful time on vacation. I too am enjoying each & every day I have my D16 with me (I have 12 left until she goes back to her Dad's for school).
Something I 'd like to ask you and you can answer it here or on my thread.. your choice (or not at all even!).
when the time comes where you do find yourself exploring the dating world again... and the question is asked... why did your wife leave you?
How will you answer that? And what do you expect their response to be to your answer?
I ask because I hear my XH tell me in one breath he is a relationship disaster and shouldn't be with anyone (but is making no moves to work on himself in IC) but his FB page has him looking for friendship, dating & a relationship.
I know my D16 has talked with him about dating and sprucing up his waredrobe so he is more 'in style' for dates. but I can't help but wonder... when a woman asks (& we do ask),
why did your wife leave you after 22+ years of marriage?
what will he tell her? What would you tell her? And if you & he tell her the truth.... what would you expect her response to be?
