And to anwer your BIG question, I think he is like most guys, wondering what is out there Wanting to meet new people in a forray into the new single world. Curiosity. Do women still desire me? Is it the best move? Nope. I told him as much when we first started talking. I think majority if separated people do it. It is of course not the best move. Actually the sepration wasn't on the proofile. I told him he should be honest about it and he actually redid his profile with my help. He admitted he is both scared and excited to be truly on his own. He does come from 2 married parents who have been through alot, hes the older with a married brother and sister. ANd I imagine part of him feels like a failure.
I think he is really going to like this stage of life. But i think its new and scary as well as it was for all of us.
I think we need to remeber like 98% of the people don't do what we do after being on here. IRL, I really dont know many divorced people who do. My friend at work started dating a few months after her divorce. SHe is a very independent woman with 2 daughters and a mess of an ex husband. SO far she has had a year long relationship, and she is in a year and a half one now. It does work.ANd she never got the kids involved until a year, and they barely are now. She does well.
Another coworker married another coworker while she was in the process of her divorce. They now have a kid together and have been married 10 years. ANd a sickengly cute couple. I'm friends with them both.
Is it ideal? No. Should we all wait the two years? Yeah. Mark was 2 years out, still scarred. Couldnt even coparent or talk to his ex. He was very avoidant. Still d pserate to be his sons favorite person in the world.
Anyways, we are just hanging out!!! I'm really not having his baby and eloping. It was a joke
