If you reread DR and marriage myths of course you and W have different values and outlooks.
The anger is very important to manage as that comes from fear itself and possibly shame. The element to take into account is resentment as that will keep getting in the way. With your IC I would tackle this as it is often a big issue and can be very frightening to deal with by spouses. Disappointment, lack of love and attraction can all be handled between two; but anger is debilitating. Your anger is understandable and natural and no blame by having this. But detachment is better as it will give you space.
You probably have been decieved, lied to, manipulated and lots of other things too some you may never know about! But DB is about getting on for you.
Frankly your new friend is a friend with a child of similar age and I would leave it at that, otherwise you invite unpleasantness from W. I would prefer you had a mix of single parent friends so you can get different views and who could object to you joining a single parents group? Keep it light and very very breezy.
As always
