Within the void of indifference, temptations and other feelings loom larger than they really are.
You are correct, we none have experience in this arena; we were married and living life after all.
My advice: No dating or anything else until you have been divorced for at least one year. That is actually divorced. Papers signed. And one full year post that. Things are different, once the ink is dried.
You deserve the best. Respect. Honour. Loyalty. Love. Which includes from yourself.
I know. One year post divorce sounds like a long time, especially when one isn’t even divorced. That’s kind of the point.
The gift of time - use it wisely. Discover your beliefs and values (or what you want them to be).
Do not make life altering decisions based upon feelings. Follow your beliefs and convictions.
Part of utilizing time wisely is asking questions and seeking various viewpoints. I applauded your good sense and open honest approach.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
