Less than a month after the BD, she told me she was interested in a coworker of hers (this admission is apparently atypical for the forums, but inline with my W), but later stated they are only friends. They're full-blown dating at this point.


Yup it's so common it's kind of a cliche'. My ex said the same thing and then couldn't get on the dating apps fast enough after S. I think they just say it because they think it makes things easier on us. I don't think the dating thing worked out like my ex thought it would, she had a whole bunch of first dates and not many that went past that. She doesn't talk to me about it anymore so I think she finally just gave up. For the last year she's been more focused on doing stuff with female friends, our kids and with her mom.

Not sure why you think that would warrant a 2x4! Of course you miss that, I mean that's a huge part of being in a loving relationship with someone is giving and getting some love! Just try to keep in mind that it's temporary, you'll have it again whether from her or someone else!
