Can, I think jumping into that situation too early does have the potential to cause harm to you in a number of ways. It is important to fully grieve this loss. If you read through your own threads you will see that like everyone going through this, you are all over the place with your emotions. Dating too quickly is just an attempt to avoid the pain you are experiencing, but that doesn't work. This is something you have to go through and come to terms with. Your daughter needs 100% of you right now. You don't want to regret later not being fully present because you were trying to distract yourself. While you say it is window shopping, window shopping can lead to impulsive purchases. In this case you could potentially risk your own heart, as well as someone else's. Take the time you need to fully feel the loss, get through the divorce, be fully present for your daughter, and let your decision to move forward with the divorce and the end of the relationship sit for a while to make sure that you are at peace with it.
