Also, in my mind, I could not R with my W in the future knowing that I did not interact with woman if she was interacting with other men. Sort of leveling the playing field so to speak.

I imagine there are some thoughts that seeing another woman can help the LBS to detach. That when they see that there are other interesting and attractive woman out there they will have less of a hard time moving on from the W.

There is probably an aspect about being wanted again. A lot of LBS feel hurt and unwanted after their W decided the single life or OM was better than being with the H. You are accurate in your view on self esteem and confidence. If the LBS sees there are woman who are interested in them, they will gain confidence that their world isn’t over with the leaving of their W, and that life will go on.



I decided in January that I was going to be open to meeting new women. I ended up meeting a woman 13 years younger. its nuts that she is more mature than my EXWW. She is very sweet and very nice. Meeting her honestly showed me that there are plenty of women in this world that will be happy to be in your life.

Ill be heading out of town to visit my new GF after work today. Looking forward to it.
