How did you go about starting over after divorce?

Mainly for fellow divorcees after ending long-term marriages.

Marriage changed and challenged me in so many ways. I can't see love the same way anymore. Not in a bad way, but realizing it isn't enough.

Starting another relationship which may also end like this doesn't bother me. It's better to appreciate the moment instead of worrying about uncertain futures.

There's a future I want, with someone, though it is very uncertain. It's possible it may not happen in this life.

It's a rarity finding decent people. Feels like the worlds changed so much. Or maybe my luck ran out. Who knows.

How did you do it? Where did you end up?

Thanks.

I tried dating after I got divorced and it didn't go well for me. Everything changed from when I met my ex husband. People were rude, creepy and selfish. I met a guy that ended up being abusive and now I'm trying to heal.

I was 31-32 when I got divorced. I thought for sure I'd meet someone kind who would love my son and I. I was so naive.

I don't know what the future holds for me, but I'd caution anyone dating these days to be careful.
