Action is indeed a great balm. Good for you for being proactive. It is amazing how taking one small step can give you the motivation to take another and then another. Keep going on that path.
Enjoy your series and your wine!

He said he would come early so he could hang out. When he left he gave me a slightly lingering hug, and squeezed by a$$ a few times briefly. That was surprising, but I didn’t react or say a word about it.
The squeezing the a$$ seems weird to me. Are you ok with that? I was always taught to treat the WAS like a cashier at a store or a friendly acquaintance. That just seems out of place, and possibly a little cake-eating. Like he knows that he is still in control of you and your a$$ belongs to him.
A few months back after my W gave me a long R conversation (and admitted to dating a guy I know!) she asked if she could hug me as we went to leave. Prior to that point we had always hugged upon saying goodbye. But that night was the first time that I told her "No, I'd rather not." and walked away. I can tell you it is a good feeling to exert the power to simply walk away from their pitying tokens of affection.
