Hi gto .. I just read this entire thread but not your earlier posts. I have some conflicting thoughts on dating others during separation. Since my w and I separated I have dated quite a bit and I still am. If w and I do reconcile I am not sure what long term effects the dating will have. I can see it adding extra conflict to have to get beyond if a new relationship with w will work. I can also see it help me get beyond the fact that my w has had an OM. I have been all over the Internet reading stories of people trying to get back together with an ex and it seems that those who have a chance to reconcile usually have moved on to the point where they are seeing other people. So it appears to help in the short run, although I could see that it could possibly do more harm than good in the long run. Who knows.
