Wow, BD 5 months ago and your already wayward on your girlfriend. You did go on a date, you held hands in the movie, and you were emotionally intimate with your W.

Look, I get it, but you need time to level out. You don't know what you want cause your still full of emotions, and emotions aren't consistent. Here's my $.02 for what it's worth:

1. Apologize to your girlfriend, tell her it's not fair to her, but you can't be in a healthy R right now.

2. Tell your W that you will not be in a open M, if she ever has any interest in trying to work things out, you wouldn't even consider the idea unless you knew that she had gone NC.

3. Give her space, show her what NC means (other than about D)

4. Work the hell out of GAL until you find a passion

5. Be the best damn dad ever.

i do wish you the best, I think you still have a chance in reconciling, but right now your on route to a train wreck and you need to start enjoying your life on your own and as a father.
