Since most of the people here at this Surviving are clear that their marriage is over maybe it's a good time to talk about the danger of the rebound relationship.

How do we get caught in a rebound?

Some people figure if it's ok for him why not me?
Some are desperate to know that they are attractive after all.
Some just desperately need to feel needed.
Others just want to feel something - anything at all!

But none of these reasons to start dating are proof that your ready for dating. In fact most of them prove that your not ready for dating.

Trust me I know what I'm talking about. Be there, done that!

Also part of what you need to consider are the kids. You may have decided that you are ready to date but honestly are your kids ready to have other adults introduced into the mix?

Would love to hear what you all think. Any horror stories? Any success stories?

Ok I'll start with horror stories - one guy I started to see, went out I think three times...found out he was married and I was the candidate to be the OW! Me of all people to be OW! Oh I don't think so!
