There are real scientific studies out there showing that sex with someone new can help with breakup recovery--it's proof we're desirable AND there are many potential partners as good or better than our ex's in many ways (of course, never in all ways). I hope you can take that good, and avoid the bad (getting prematurely attached to someone when not enough time has not passed for you to address your attachment issues and other areas where more work would allow you to change your perspective and raise your standards to find a partner better for your life and happiness long-term). I am rooting for you, and have appreciated your support as well. Go KitKat!


I realize I have anxious attachment issues. I'm doing the self work there. I am recognizing my flaws and how I can be more proactive at avoiding unnecessary pitfalls.

This entire situation may have a crash landing but I'll be okay to pick myself up and move on... AND yes, this all just proof of life and helping me see things in myself that have been masked from the pain of my H walking out.

I'm a good person... cute, sexy, adorable, adventurous, kind, honest, etc. I'm learning to live with disaapointment and realizing that someone else can see the buried treasure even if my H's eyes are blind to that these days.
