Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I know this is a very personal decision- so of course I am certain responses will cover the spectrum... however, I am just curious how long (for those of you who are dating again) you waited after your separation/divorce before dating again? And if you have children- when did you let them know you were dating? I will have been separated a year in February, my divorce was finalized last June... I have been dating a wonderful man since late August (wasn't looking really- just sort of fell into place)... and I think I would finally like to introduce my children (I have full custody of my kids).... I am aware of the risks of introducing a man into the kids' lives that if we do not work out- would represent another loss to them. This relationship feels very respectful, loving and solid- but I know there is no guaranty. That fact won't change if I wait six more months, but I don't want to rush my kids either...
I am not expecting one right answer- but thought I might gain some insight from you guys.... lord knows I could use some! Thanks!

I am going to move to a strange town, and try to start a life there. I'm going to take alot of time inside my little one bedroom apartment, healing myself. How much time,..only fate knows!
I currently have -0- desire to get out there and date. Been down the single road too many times, with too many unsuccessful connections.
My only true desire is to make alot of friends and acquaintences. I don't want to date until 100% the woman I'm meant to be.
If I were a kid I'd like to be able to have my parent ask me how I felt about them dating, depending on my age.
Since the last one lasted a couple months, I have not dated in 8 months. I am only now opening up to the possiblity. I have found that doing the work on myself, I seem much more drawn to someone healthy this time. Had I not done the work on myself, I think like the guys I dated at first, I'd just find another "version" of the original, as my counselor said. Taking time for me to decide how I feel about myself and what I like about myself is really a good place to start, I think.
We're not nuns, though. In fact, some people who said they're not dating are still having sex.
Although not the same as the real thing! sigh...
I miss nuts! BOB doesn't have any... :(
No children. Ie: N.A.
I am trying to get out there and be social - I have been way too isolated in recent years. But not looking for a relationship.
Going out dancing last night was much more fun than I remember. Last time I went out dancing was before I was in a relationship, and it was a goal-oriented activity, looking for a relationship. Last night was just for fun.
My kids are older, and I am completely open with them. They will know right away.
