I am just at the start of a divorce after discovering my dh has been unfaithful for YEARS!
I know it is rebound and I know its irresponsible blah blah blah but I just want to feel sexual and have that mind blowing feeling that I haven't had for years.

I can't, wouldn't know where to find it, have a dd but I just feel wreckless.
any one able to empathise with this?

Yes, but don't do anything stupid! If you don't want to see the guy more than once think about why that is. So sorry about your marriage - it's really awful, isn't it?

I am still angry obviously, but I know we haven't been happy for a long while. I tried so hard and he was being unfaithful all along.
I guess what I really want is to feel wanted again, remember what its like to go on a date and get to know somebody. But its way too early for actual dating.
I am lonely fighting this horrible end of marriage, and just when I need someone to make me feel special and supported, I have lost him

Why not! I'm told there's websites for this kind of thing, tinder or POF. no strings attached stuff.
But as always stay safe and let a friend know what you're doing ect.

Even if you have one good night it's better than nothing at all.

Go for it

You want a bit of sex. That doesn't make you a bad mother. Go for it.
If you can get a baby sitter. If not there's nothing wrong with a bit of afternoon or morning delight.Wink.
While dd is in school.
Be safe

Be safe, tell a friend where you are and who with, go for it, be safe, be safe.

I did exactly that after my marriage finally ended. There are, erm, websites and apps you can use, or I occasionally just used to go out to a bar. In retrospect I took it waaaay too far 😳, but it was fun and did my self-confidence the world of good.
Just take sensible steps to protect yourself, and think about exactly what you do, or do not want, make it known & stand by it.

I remember being told years ago, "The best way to get over one man is to get under another" and while it isn't necessarily about that, it can feel like a restart button to know the last person who touched you wasn't somebody who hurt you I think. Smile

If you think a night of great sex is just what you need, then why not?

Tinder.
