Too soon for a casual FWB?

Olive

Would you say it's "okay" for someone who just got out of an abusive decade-long relationship and who is at the very beginning of their healing stage to casually (once a week meet up & text once or twice a week leading up) hook up with a new FWB to help distract themselves a little bit?

I guess for some reason I feel sort of guilty to even allow a once-a-week male encounter. I want to heal so badly, I want to understand and work through my trauma and I know having distractions from another male, a month after my break-up is not the right thing to do or the "safe" thing to do during this type of a healing journey.

But damn, I enjoy those once-a-week, few hours of distraction from another guy that I genuinely like to be around. I'm terrified this is going to blow up in my face and I will once again have to start all over again.

I truly don't think I have it in me to start over, once again.

Sorry, I'm just struggling today and needed to write all that for some reason.
