I feel ready to move on and have had 2 relationships since my divorce. Two differetn extremes of relationships. G1 was needy and G2 distant. I think this demonstrates the need to practice at dating for a while.
Dont we all carry regret over the failure of the marriage, the consequences of which landed at our kids feet? As a mother I carry tremendous guilt at what I did and didnot do.
Did this guilt manifest itself in either of these 2 past relationships ? G1 was so needy I suffocated. Possibly his only fault and I eill say it has taken and is still work in progress for him to get the message. I am so petrified of hurting another human being as I had done in the past and have had done to me.
I was told to be on my own for at least a year before dating again. Anyone else been given such advice ?
