And I read your "blow up" at your H. Sounds completely human to me. DB'ing is so counter to how we really feel and what we really want to say that holding yourself to the standard of perfection isn't a great one. IMO it's ok to lose your [censored] every once in a while in extreme circumstances and these are extreme circumstances.
Tread lightly with the new guy, even though you're both after friendship, you're still in a vulnerable place. What looks attractive even for friendship now is going to be filling a void that you is there, especially around the holidays. Nothing wrong with companionship in difficult times, just realize that the draw for more may be heavy despite your best intentions.
Still amazes me how much you get done...
