When is it ok to move on?

Hello, I split up with my husband and moved out 6 weeks ago after a long period of counselling and six months of me telling him I wanted to split up. No matter how many times I tell him we're over he won't accept it.
We have 3 children. I didn't split up and move out lightly, we are trying to keep things amicable.

I have the opportunity to have fun with someone else, which I would really like as a pick me up but would feel like I was being unfaithful. I don't want a relationship, this person would never be serious, never meet the children but it would make me feel attractive again. When is it ok to move on and have some fun?

It's up to you, because you know the situation best?

I left an abusive relationship about two years ago (with latest non-molestation order being granted about a month ago). I started a relationship with a man that I thought was trusted by the whole community... but when I said I didn't want to sleep with him any soon, he decided he didn't want to see me any more.

My feeling is ... if they aren't serious about needs of the children, they are not the right bloke
