Even if I find someone else, I don't think I will find him right away. So for me, dating is a process of self- discovery as well as sifting through the chaff.
I also believe that every R is a learning experience. So even 8f I don't end up with the next guy I get involved with, I think I am okay with that.
I understand what your saying. But then do you stay somewhat detached to avoid being hurt at another loss? I think it's going to be different for all of us. I'm probably going to reevaluate and see where I am after stretches of time post divorce. I think different ways different days and my moods are unpredictable right now.
After my first relationship which was abusive i waited a long time to date again. When I met my husband, I felt safe with him because he was the complete opposite of that abusive relationship. I assumed that because he was opposite of my ex, he would be faithful and committed. I was also very young, never went to counseling and just winged it without really exploring the concept of maarriage and relationships. so what if I do that again?
