Opinions on dating? W and I have had no sexual contact in about 13 months. We have both been with other partners and dated. 10 months ago she was serious in a rebound relationship and told me I should get on dating apps. I started dating. I should not have listened to her but I was a mess at the time. Had not read DB or DR NMMNG etc. I have not been dating in months but now we are in different homes and different towns.
I started dating about a year after BD. In retrospect I think that was too soon, 18 months to 2 years would have been better as I clearly had not moved on yet (even though at the time I thought I had). But that's me, it's different for each person. How did it go when you tried dating before? Sounds like it didn't go well, do you think it would be different this time? IE, have you changed, or is your mindset still the same (regarding your M) as it was then? You really need to have 100% moved on before you're ready to date, any less than that and it will just be an emotional struggle at a time that I think you would agree you don't need it.
