Yes, John. You are going to be JUST fine, with or without her.

Read that over and over again and over again.
As for this other chick... John you are in a very very vulnerable place right now. Any female attention is going to sound good. I would strongly urge you not to pour yourself into this. The reasons for this are many including the fact that if your W found out, I am 99.9% sure she will use this against you in mediation/divorce to get what she wants.
You are golden right now. In my opinion, you have the upper hand. Don't let her see any of your cards so play what you have the right way and don't get caught up in any other BS. She wants to "stand on her own two feet"--give it to her.
