Episode 3 - The Divorce Awakens

[qt4x11]

I didn't "wait" for my W. I lived life. That doesn't mean that I needed someone else.

That sounds like waiting around for your wife, just because you were doing your 'hobbies' and 'working on yourself' doesn't mean you weren't also waiting. How was the celibacy? Sounds fun.

You want to go out with other women because "life's too short", well that's your choice. I'm not sure how you'd be in the long run when a M is supposed to last a lifetime.

My wife is the one that is out. She gave up on the M. I never wanted this. There is no 'moral high ground' to waiting around for the off chance she could change her mind.

I may go out with this woman, or I may not. It may fall through, there's a good chance of this. I may decide not to, because I'm not ready.

But I think it's really silly for people to try and create some hard and fast rule for when you can move on. Everyone's different, everyone's situation is different. There is no timeline. Do you feel like dating? GO FOR IT. If the time isn't right you'll know and then you can give yourself more time before trying again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
