I don't know that you have such a high regard for yourself. Your self esteem sounds pretty low to me. For one thing, meeting new people is a lot easier when you offer something and are not just 'needing friends" which is the same in a r. And you would not have been content for a whole life time with only one friend. That's codependent. I said it before and I stand by that.
Get that old confidence back, whatever it takes. No, I don't think it comes from business success.
It comes from within. OTherwise every CEO or investor like Trump would lose all their confidence when things go badly. I know Trump declared bankruptcy.
You think HE lost HIS confidence? I don't.
Once you're "back" you can think straight.
And as I said, YES you need to make sure IF the chance for ML comes up and IF YOU are interested,
be ready. OF course, you might want HER to take an STD test first, so you don't catch something from her. (You don't know OM or where HE has been...and neither does she...)
food for thought. Yes she needs to fear losing you. But how can she?
Instead of pretending to be dating OW, imagine dating...at all.
MAYBE...maybe, tell her that you promise "not to introduce any OW to d3 UNLESS it's getting really serious." You hope she agrees to do the same.
But get other input b/c that's off the top of my head.
