Like you said, the stbxw will need to change. She's a crazy train.
Just don't hop off one crazy to get aboard another crazy. But, the fun of a few dates with some attractive women, to see what the ball field looks like would be fun. I have a friend at work who had his wife have a MLC, and the D was BAD. He was really shook up, his second D, but from what I can tell a great guy. It took him 2 years to bring up the courage to date... I would think a year would feel ok to me, if I was in his spot. His EX, though, found 5 guys in that time, and then shacked up with a divorcing guy, and sound like it stuck.
