It isn't really about hurting her. I just happened to find someone that I really get along with and have fun with and am happy when I'm around this person. I've been talking to this person for a few weeks and felt extremely guilty about it and at some point last week I just realized I shouldn't feel guilty for feeling happy right now.
I only use dating in quotes because I've been completely up front with this person and while yes we are dating she knows that there are circumstances under which I would still want to R with my W and work on our MR.
I only told my W about it at all because I felt like it was getting to the point where enough people knew that eventually she would find out either intentionally or unintentionally and I didn't want her to find out in the same way that I did, from someone else.
I really wasn't trying to get back at her or hurt her. I felt that since we are technically still married she had a right to know.
