Divorced and Dating

This is a topic I am interested in discussing. I was married for 18 years and have recently gotten divorced. The whole experience made me an emotional wreck for a while. Now I'm slowly getting back into the dating game. Unfortunately, I qualify as one of those men with "baggage". In fact, I doubt you could fit it all in the back of a taxi.

Has anyone here successfully re-entered the dating pool after a divorce? What was your experience like? I'm taking it one day at a time but sometimes I feel like I'll never get back to my pre-marriage, gregarious self.

Hi George,

Yes I have been there and done that. Married for 21 years and divorced. Now very happily re-married for the last 13 years.

My advice to you is live day to day and don't force it. Things will happen in their own good time.

Best regards and good luck

Hi George. Sorry to hear your marriage broke up. It's not easy but give it time. I went through a divorce in 1985, and remarried in 1988.

At the time i thought never again...but you know best laid plans and all that lol.....I do believe there is someone for everyone and i just got it wrong the first time or i was too young ( i was 17yrs)

I'm very happy now and for me 2nd time around is the best. Good luck but don't try too hard, be yourself, we all have some sort of baggage at certain times of our lives. Don't let it ruin your chance of happiness. Take care. Moe.
