Neither do I. I can't do it. I feel pressured by some friends (male and female) and brothers and sister to get out there. They were always seemingly on her side until she gave up on the M. W is so angry and cruel to me I think they just want me feeling good about myself. I do in so many ways but there has been zero progress to here.
That's true...friends just want you to feel better as quickly as possible and their typical advice is to leave. At this point, all of my family and friends are telling me to start dating (granted, it's been 2 years since BD and court appearances have started).
In my case, I struggle with it because at this point, all my needs are really being met by my W...it's just that she won't stop the D. In your case, I'm make sure you get all your own stuff addressed before considering seeing someone, regardless where your M is. And telling yourself it's just fun and not a R is just you justifying it to yourself...
