A Question of Relationship

Some of you who have read my posts may know that my wife left me 6 weeks ago. Our marriage, which at that point had become a long distance relationship, ended via the internet (Skype in fact). I have not seen my wife since April and the break up was fairly traumatic. I did seek counseling which had helped a great deal.

A few days ago I met a single woman - we had a great time and ended up sleeping together. Most of you will be thinking "Oh dear, rebound!" and so did I and I still do. I was honest and told her everything about me, my break up, that I am not emotionally ready for a relationship and I have a lot of healing to do. We are however close work colleagues (I know, I know...) and we agreed that we would be friends only, not lovers. We have set our individual boundaries. I have absolutely no idea if this will work, but I am taking one day at a time. I don't want to fall back into the abyss from which I have so painfully crawled out from.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so, how did you deal with it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh yes and I should imagine that there are loads of stories to tell. Its getting like America !!! My first marriage lasted 6 years and she took half. (a case of her adultery) My second relationship was 3 and a half years and she left with a friend. My third lasted 25 years . Maybe I should have chosen more carefully as she to commited adultery (unknown to me) for 7 years with a friend plus 4 others . So about to be cleaned out again. Should have taken a friends advice 25 years ago. His attitude was you have a house, she has a house. Live between the two.

Hi
From a female point of view if you have clear boundaries and you are both happy then y not.
However bear in mind women need emotional attatchment more than a man so be on your guard.
happy times x
