Davide, I agree, nobody 'should' us into anything. May be as LBS we all made that mistake somewhere along the way. While I am not in a place where I will date until the D is final and may be even a bit later it is because I know what it would take for me to heal more and get to a place where I am open and healthy to a new R, this doesnt mean I think it should be the case for everyone. As long as you clearly stipulate what your sitch is and the dating partner is okay with it then each to his own IMO. I definitely agree it will help you let go of your W more easily and embrace the new life. Do you plan on being open with your W about this? Letting her know that you are beginning to date?

I will add the podcast to my list of must watch/hear, thanks.
