Thought I would pull this out of Did's thread. It is a common question. It is a very personal decision but LBSs should consider it carefully with both eyes open.

As the vets here say, DO NOT DATE AS A WAY TO HEAL FROM YOUR BROKEN MARRIAGE. This just continues your codependent cycle. Get happy alone first, then go out and date. Preferably after D.

For those with kids, are are some sobering statistics:

Quote
Children living in households with unrelated adults are nearly 50 times as likely to die of inflicted injuries as children living with two biological parents, according to a study of Missouri data published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2005.
Children living in stepfamilies or with single parents are at higher risk of physical or sexual assault than children living with two biological or adoptive parents, according to several studies co-authored by David Finkelhor, director of the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center.
Girls whose parents divorce face significantly higher risk of sexual assault, whether they live with their mother or father, according to research by Robin Wilson, a family law professor at Washington and Lee University.


If you are a parent LBS, something to consider.
