Well I guess we are legally separated so there would be no legal repercussion to dating. That being said I hadn't had thought of it as falling right into another relationship with someone else but more casual dating to just put myself out there and adjust my mind to the fact that this might not work out with H no matter what I want. I don't see myself wanting anything serious but I guess dating is like rolling the dice. You never know when someone will cross your path that you are really interested in so there is risk there of diverting to a totally different direction. It's hard because so many people tell me to move on and find someone who treats me better like people are replaceable. They say what if you miss out on someone who could be the love of your life because you are waiting for something that never comes to fruition.

On another note, H responded to my email about the financial items today and wants to keep phone and car insurance together as-is. I kept it business but he added in a line that he hoped I am doing well. I have not responded, I assume I shouldn't.

Then a few minutes ago I got a text asking if he needed to re-apply for his daughter's financial aid each year or if it carries over. I obviously know the answer to that. Should I just text back Yes reapply each year and leave it at that or wait a while to respond and hope he figures it out?
