Just in case I wasn't clear, this ^^^^^ is exactly what I was trying to say. You do not at all have to wait until D10 is D18 for things to get easier, but you might be amazed at how much of a difference it will be when she is D14 or even D12 or 13. That just may be the same time HC needs. I don't even think it's near as much about him dating other women first, it's much more just about getting through the post D stuff. It just takes a few years to get back to normal again. It's a process. That's why many experts say not to date for at least 6 months - often a year post D. This ^^^^^^^ will also demonstrate whether slow and steady wins the race versus the previous instant connection instant R longer terms you had with FF and the guy previous who lived farther away from you. That's what I was trying to say - whether I'm right or wrong. smile
