I know this may be premature. I seem to toggle between the infidelity, breakup and divorce and life after divorce groups. I am not sure where I fit in.I think a bit of all. I am not yet divorced and actually have just stared that journey. My stbx wife has been cheating on me since February. I am 100% sure of this. She has denied any affair but does not want to be married to me any longer (16yrs, three kids).....My question is when will it be ok to go out and meet other women. I am not looking for anyhting serious but I need some type of companionship and conversation. Do I have to wait until the D is final. Is there a grievance period or when I feel comfortable. My stbx has treated me horribly the past year. Her insults, mistreatment and neglect have helped to lower my self esteem and I have also felt very lonely at times. I want to just go out and have fun. Currently when I am not at work I am with my three kids as she is out (nights and weekends). I love them dearly but I do need some adult converstaion. What if any advice can you share with me? There is no chance for recon.

" Speaking for myself I didn't start to date until I was divorced because I didn't have the desire to also because I was still married. Do you feel you are ready to date? I understand the need for adult companionship as well perhaps you can go out with some of your male friends.

Also you are not divorced yet could this have an impact on your divorce? Ultimately, only you can truly decide if you are ready to take this step. I wish you well. "
