You are doing great. It is difficult to negotiate life at first with the "scarlet D". When you were the initiator (as I was) you have trouble feeling as if you can stand on the "moral high" ground. It is just all too human. You are doing just terrific though.
My personal pet peeve in dating after the D - if someone asked my status I simply said "separated" or "divorced" as applicable but didn't go into detail. I met more men who said in a hang dog kinda way, "Hi I'm Mike and I'm going through a divorce" as if they were saying that they were "going through chemotherapy". I didn't offer the information unless asked.
