Dealing with a complex MLC and/or Wayward Wife

[P_Jam]

LH,
Would like to clarify the "other relationships" and using another human being... I"m not suggesting I start one only to make W jealous.

Ex: I'm have female friend that I'm connecting with now who is also going through divorce. We are very open that we really don't want/need to have a relationship. But clearly we are making a connection based on what we have in common. I can see something happening. I/we would need to be open with each other, but my point is.. no matter who/how/when there is a next relationship it is most likely a rebound relationship anyway. So I"m wondering why it is such a cardinal rule to completely avoid in this situation? And not continue living my life on that front as well?
