40, I am going through that same dating dilemma. Initially I was thinking take a break and be on my own for a while but agree with the person who said it is good for PMA and GAL.
Our spouses are already doing it so we are either officially separated or in an open marriage. Right now I am thinking there is no harm in it if it feels ok. Our M 's are effectively over except for some microscopic chance that they will have a change of mind after some time and we will take them back. I for one don't want to put my life on hold waiting for someone who explicitly told me that she doesn't want to be with me without giving any reason.
Whether or not we have dated someone in the interim is not really going to affect this except that we may find someone we like better and decide the M is not for us either. Is that bad ?
