My husband and I have talked about this, making a point of telling each other now that it won't be any kind of betrayal if the surviving spouse finds someone new to be happy with. I don't expect that to remove all guilt . . . but at least we've been unambiguously clear about it.
I'm glad you're finding your way forward, awkwardness and all.
