Great to hear that you are ok TLEE.

As Toots says, the online dating is a bit early, go out with mates and chat with women but keep your it there for now, frankly it'll just be a rebound relationship if you take it anywhere and you know where they end up.

What I don't understand is why you are nervous about seeing your W?

Run through some scenarios in your head so you are ready but don't waste too much time hear as things rarely pan out as you expect.

WRT the dogs, that's a tricky one, give it some thought and make a decision, it'll be the right one so stick to it. Dogs are loyal to their master's and continue to be so regardless of what anyone else does, trust them, they aren't going to turn round and say OM is better than you, are they? 😀.

Remain calm regardless of what happens and act as if you are doing really well and enjoying life. Don't tell her anything (or very little) about what you've been up to but show interest and really listen to her, have lots of questions ready but keep them light, like you would chatting with an acquaintance.

Be sure of your boundaries as to what you consider OK to discuss and be prepared to enforce them if necessary.

It's not going to be the last conversation you have with her and it's not the most important one, it's just another getting together, nothing more, so don't build up into a big thing,

You are an improved you now, let that shine through by being in control.

If things start to get out of control, walk away before they really do and in any case ensure you finish the time together first and maybe a little premature too, it'll set her thinking that you are different which is all you are trying to achieve.

Good luck, you'll ace it!
