I also wish I'd never have to see WW again because I have the same reaction. I call it "turning on the master switch", as it reminds me everything about her I'm trying to forget and move on: the familiarity of every feature, movement and word. I had committed to them for life.

As for dating, I agree that there are no hard and fast rule. D3's godparents met two months after painful breakups and are one of the more mature and healthy couples I know, eight years in. Love and sex are full of interdicts and people will rationalize ways for you to avoid them, often referring to their own repression of desires (it was on display in the Great Dating Debate on my thread). I also believe that dating can be healing and not every date has to start with the intention of marrying -- in fact, they very rarely do. I can't wait to see what's in store for us.
