Good for you, man! Move on! What's the next step? Will you initiate legal D?

Can you see yourself dating again in the near future? I've begun to think of it this way: I should keep that door wide open. Don't put arbitrary restrictions on it, like, Oh it's only been so many months, so I shouldn't date. At the same time, I need to be keenly in touch with how I feel. Am I really ready to enjoy the company of another woman, and to what extent? How would it feel to date someone, esp. w/r/t any on-going feelings I have for my W?

I think for me moving on also includes doing my part to make the D happen, an amicable D. I think. But still feels wrong w/r/t my kids....

Just thinking aloud here.
