I totally agree with job... don't let friends pressure you into anything. At the end of the day you will be the one who has to live with the decision, they will be able to go back to their reality.

For me waiting and allowing my X to lead the way worked for me. She took money etc ... but looking at my actions, I am proud that I did what was right for me(I can earn more money). My friends told me to date, have sex etc... that this would help me move on. Well, For me all that would have done at that time was hurt me and maybe someone else.

Take care of yourself, protect your heart. Move slowly and make sure you and your children are protected financially.

You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
