Surviving a plane crash (Dating after divorce)

[shotgun]

kml I am sorry to hear of your boyfriend's cancer. I am a cancer survivor and my prognosis is good. The challenges of the treatment and subsequent effects on the body can only be described as horrific. I pray that this gets better for both of you and that you find purpose in it all. I have. I encounter people daily who need a positive word or a smile and a little encouragement that it will all be ok.

You make an interesting point about sex after divorce. Unlike your marriage, there was very little sex in mine. Unfortunately I didn't recognize in the beginning that her drive was way lower than mine. Much of the great advice in this forum is to look inward and develop one's own self awareness. I didn't date for a year or so mostly due to the lingering effects of the cancer treatment and great advice of my therapist to not get involved with anyone for a while. I do at this point know myself on a level that would otherwise not likely have come to be. Knowing what my needs are and my strengths and weaknesses and my own determination to never compromise on those.
