Harvey, sounds like you are doing well considering how quickly things went. Waiting a bit to date is probably for the best, like you said you could use a little time to recover from the D first. Nice to know you'll have plenty of options when you are ready though!

I think my girls will be alright--primarily because my XW and I are both handling this properly. There has been little animosity and none in front of the girls.
It is the same with my ex and me. We both were very sensitive to minimizing the impact on the kids, and I think we did pretty well, I think the kids had less trouble adjusting then we did (or me anyway). We continued to sit together when we went to the kids' performances and sporting events, and we continued to have joint bday parties for the kids. We both were/ are dating, but we never brought OP's to these get-togethers because we didn't want it to be awkward for the kids. Some WAS's are just completely off the rails so this clearly doesn't work for everyone, but I am all for it when possible because when the kids see that their parents are willing to come together for them despite their own differences then it really let's them know that they are loved.
