Continuing my DB'ing journey...

[woundedfool]

T0,

I got some great advice from a friend (the first guy I called after BD). He suggested I NOT to seek any new intimate/beyond friendship relationships for quite some time.

You run the potential for a textbook definition "rebound". And those never work out (mainly because you are so focused on getting back what you had, you look away from the bad qualities).

He also mentioned he understands I am an adult, and as adults there are certain "needs" we like having met from time to time. And in a few months, in a safe way (your a Nurse, you had microbiology )... do what you need to do (no judging from the woundedfool)

Outside of the "adult time", use this time to keep working on you. Working on a new relationship would be a huge distraction for that, and if you don't learn from your history, you WILL repeat it.

Side note: and just IMhO, beginning a relationship with a guy who is going through a "nasty divorce" would probably be very toxic for the other you. I doubt you need that now. I would mention to your friend, you are flattered she was thinking about you, but just not right now, check back in a year.
