In my opinion after 1 year if you thought you were ready, I don't see the problem in that. After all dating is time you spend to get to know some one. You learned agin he was not ment for you. Don't give up and don't quit trying, but keep on learning from your choices

I agree with Jungle Joe...don't give up and do continue learning. You will find someone to love and who loves you equally in return! Chin up!
Hugs to you!!!

You are only human. You are suppose to hurt anytime a relationship ends, why wouldn't you hurt. I am so sorry that it didn't work out again. (HUGS)

How did you get yourself on track the first time?

Did you start dating 6 months after you separated, or six months after you divorced?

Something that i'm just now learning is that we can't go into another relationship expecting that to help us. We must spend time alone and learn to be happy with ourselves. We don't need someone else to complete us, we need to be complete on our own. The other person needs to be ready as well.

I agree with JungleJoe. At at least for what ever reason it did not work you found out he was not for you before you might have married him. Good luck to you and you will find someone that is right for you!!

I am thinking about this to. I so want to be in a relationship but I want it for the right reasons and not just to be in to be in it. I am so trying to stay in the one that I have. No matter what just realize it all takes work on both sides. I hope that during all this pain I learn what it takes to do better and be better.

I have talked to many people recently divorced as well as those divorced for a while. you take all the bad from your previous relationship and they fall into the new one. They call those rebound relationships and they hurt twice as bad as the first. you'll get over this, just remember here on out, is about you and you only. when you're cool inside your head and heart, you can then find love and will be your true love. I guarantee that.

I have pretty much the same situation. Instead of waiting a year I waited a few months. I think had I given myself time I could have probably handled myself with another man better. I'm not sure. Because I wanted this person to stay around I gave him a lesser version of myself not wanting to overload him with too much ME. What I ended up doing was cheating myself by not giving myself time and not giving him the option to take or leave the real me. We have been off and on for over a year now and everytime we're "off" it hurts just like loosing my husband all over again. It's the rejection that is the more hurtful thing and the idea of another failed relationship. Sometimes you just want to feel like you can win at something/ simetimes.

I will be divorce shortly and think that I will need at least a year to get to know myself. I do want to be with someone but don't want to rush. I don't know if I can trust myself to give me time alone.

I'm sorry you're lonely. Mine has been gone about 5 months and I start shaking when I think about jumping back into another fiasco. So, this time now, as lonely as it is, will have to be for me- to figure out what I want. Hugss!

I fully understand your pain. I don't believe that time is as much an issue as getting to know yourself and being happy with yourself before giving to another person.
