Fresh separation - trying to play by the book

[jim0987]

I have to agree with Zeus on a lot of what he said. A couple of times already I've considered dating someone else but then I realise that's only because it distracts from the changes I need to make, offers short term comfort and a little bit to get back at my W

BUT...

I realise that means, I'd burn bridges, I wouldn't be fair to whoever I dated, I would be running away from my issues, I'd be endorsing the break up of my family and a load of other stuff which is just repeating my cycle that led me here. Basically if I dated right now I'd just be that same guy who contributed to my current situation and I don't like him.
