Guys, Toxic Relationships and mental health afterwards?

So, guys if you get out of a 1+ toxic relationship... and your mental health is a bit wonky because of it? But you’ve dated someone before who was good for you and you want to be with them... but you know you have to heal yourself how do you go about this? Out of curiousity?

@questionWeaver would someone coming out of a toxic relationship be dating around (fooling around)?
@silver1sil not if they are smart and like themselves

The fooling around route, Is the path to disaster ... one bad decision after another, they get more frequent ... and the person becomes either depressed or hostile

But, guys are generally immature about character health ... so, dating around is not that uncommon ... just not a good path

@questionWeaver okay seems reasonable. But say they like someone have known and been with the person prior to the unhealthy relationship and it was stopped due to bad timing. And they say they realized they want to be with this person But feel the need to be healthy first is it a reliable statement.

Honestly asking for myself I’ve known this person for a while I trust them and their word but my anxiety flared up and sometimes just need reassurance but honesty
@silver1sil since you seem rational ... get yourself in a good spot first

I have had friends (ladies) come out of marriages ... troubled, sad, angry ... but not ready to move on

They attach themselves to me, while they heal ... and they do ... sometimes a month ... one took a year

Once they had flushed all the doubts and evil from their life ... they moved back onto the life path they sought.

Always heal first
@questionWeaver Excellent advice...
@Vivaci Thank you
