Have you ever been divorced?

yes, I've been divorced for almost 3 years. Dating has been difficult, I've been on a lot of dates, but I've only had one relationship since the divorce, and that lasted about 2 months. Not sure what the problem is, but it's different for everyone, also depends on what age you are, etc. The most important thing is to be by yourself for a while after the divorce to take care of yourself. I was angry for a while, and I learned to take care of myself and to make myself happy again, then I knew when I was mentally ready to date again.

I have been divorced for 2 yrs. We have three kids together. I havent started dating at all. He is already remarried to a wonderful person.

We got married very young... started a family very young. I went from being my moms daughter to my husbands wife to my daughters mom in about 3 months. It went really fast. I didnt have that "me" time where most people continue to grow and develop their values. So as the yrs passed we grew apart. Complete opposites to be exact.

I think I am waiting to do the dating thing until I have enough "me" time under my belt.

Its easier for some people tho... People that like the bar scene etc. Thats just not me.

It was an acrimonious parting: resentment, mud-slinging, tears, vendettas, what have you. .. I supposed if we weren’t good spouses to each other, it’s OK to be shitty divorcees! WRONG! People don’t just happen to transform into “bastards” and “bitches” during a trying marriage: something in our relationship was catalytic to us growing apart from each other. And the scars we bear are not so much from us evolving in separate directions, but from our inability, and, to a great extent, reluctance to compromise and be oblivious to the latent benefits that go hand-in-hand with such change. There’s no magic pill to reconstruct your very being or accelerate constructive dating. There’s no specific schedule one follows either. Yes, divorce IS traumatic. Nevertheless, we all possess the wherewithal to continue living as we normally would, but be alert to self-destructive sentiments. Nature has a way of balancing things out for us all – in time.

been divorced since November 2005 and it wasn't that hard to get back into dating but then again i did have my eye on someone so that took a little of the roughness out of it.

Yes, 11 years ago. Never got married again. But that's just me. I have dated again though, and so will you. Just take it easy in the beginning.

it was the best day of my life and easy to start dating again. i hadn't loved the abusive bastard for years but was just too busy in business to enter into what was gonna be a long drawn out divorce. when i finally got enough time to devote myself to a divorce and ripping his heart out, i loved it. single is best.

I am divorced and it was very difficult to start over. I still felt guilty for some reason, but it passes and you are able to find a way to move forward.

my parents got divorced because my dad was having an affair and now he is married to the woman he was having an affair with. obviously he didnt find it too hard to get into the swing of things because he had already started before his last marriage had ended! lol.

i've been working on a divorce for about 5 months now and we've been seperated for that time. i'll tell you it's kinda hard to get back into the swing of things. just give it time.

Yes.... Start dating again is not that easy.. believe me
