Can't say as you haven't received some really great advice. You have. And you have made a lot of progress, but you much more to go. You know the things you need to do, and the reasoning etc. You also know that you feel the things you hear and see from her because you haven't detached. Your rational mind knows, but your other mind doesn't accept. Yet. Getting closer, amigo
As for the dating. Yep, been there and done that. The first girl I dated that I cared about, I found I wasn't able to fully be in a realtionship with her because I was distracted by the hatred and games from the ex. I wasn't as detached as I thought I was. By the time I heard she was getting married to the OM, it really didn't bother me. I have other things that are far more important and it seems a natural evolution for her to do that. I wish her luck and happiness which surprised me
Keep working at it Tad. It'll come to you. It'll sink in. You'll let it wash over you and you'll keep it from getting between you and a great relationship with a new girlfriend. You'll be tired of letting this point in time ruin your life and take so much more from you than it deserves. Really.
