I think I've said this here, before ... When I ended my marriage, I was determined not to fall back into the cycle. I don't know about every other guy, but a lot of guys I knew were like me in that as soon as a relationship ended that they definitely wanted to stay ended, they'd go out and hook up with some random female ("Even if I get weak, and think about taking her back, she'll NEVER agree to it, when she finds out I fucked someone else"). I avoided this like the plague. I didn't want to get back on the merry-go-round. I didn't set any specific amount of time, but I had no social contact what-so-ever with any of the fairer sex. I wouldn't chat in a bar. I wouldn't sit in the cafeteria (DFAC) with a female. I wanted to concentrate on working on me; healing from my marriage and getting back to be being the person I had been and working on getting back on the path to be the person I wanted to become. Again, it wasn't really some kind of conscious decision. I just wanted the focus to be on me (and my children, of course). It took a year and two weeks for me to sit at a table table on break at work with a female. She had hit on me, a few times, during my marriage, but we had a cordial relationship because she understood what "married" meant to me. It was a year and sixteen days after my marriage ended before I had sex (she was very persuasive and her arguments had merits). The best thing I have ever done for myself, when it comes to romantic relationships was to eschew them while I got my head together. I've never looked back. Michael
