Yes yes yes!

I SO wish I had dated a lot more as a grownup. I married at 27 and thought I knew it all and had done it all and was with the right guy for a lifetime. I had traveled the world, lived overseas, established myself in my profession, and dated him for four years so I knew it all. My poor kids are paying the price of the fact that I didn't even know I wasn't emotionally healthy, and I sure didn't know that H wasn't. I dated a lot as a college student and for less than a year after college, but I dated H exclusively from age 22-26 and thought all his shortcomings were things I could handle.

Get out there and date a lot more guys (when you're ready, I know you need to grieve this one). You haven't been with a healthy one yet, and you haven't been healthy yet either.
