Answer

We are so glad to hear that you are trying to get over your obsession with your wife and giving up on the hunger strike idea.

As to you question, No... we don't think it is a good idea to start seeing other women while in the midst of your divorce.

Your divorce should be over and final and you should wait a year before you have any romantic relationships.

No, we don't think you should be having sexual relations with anyone while in the midst of a divorce or for a year after your divorce.

It is important that when you begin a new relationship that you are a whole person who knows yourself, and understands the reasons for your divorce. You need time to go through the grieving process of ending a marriage relationship.

If you truly care for someone else, you won't rush into the relationship until you are emotionally on a solid foundation.

Proceed to the next question.
