Women dating after divorce
Divorce sucks. Big time. And if you were to believe all of the psychologist, dating/relationships experts, and all the crappy statistics out there, you would assume that women dating after divorce sucks even worse. Don’t believe the hype.
I’ve had my female readers and listeners agonize over said “facts” about the impending dating scene that they would have to face once their divorce was final. The “facts” that state that if you’re divorced you’re never gonna find true love again because you messed up your first (or second, or third!) and only chance. These “facts” that stomp down and traumatize women dating after divorce into believing that they have little to no chance of finding fun, happiness, and love after the dreaded D word.
I’m here to tell you to stop. Stop reading those crappy articles. Stop listening to those crappy experts (who are either unhappily married to a cheating spouse or are bitter and ugly!) that tell you to take the first guy that’s “good enough” because you have really have no choice in the matter since you’re divorced. Stop believing that your divorce has branded a scarlet “D” on your chest (get it, scarlet “D” like the scarlet letter?) Stop believing that you’re damaged goods and no one will want you and you’re not good enough for a great loving guy.
Because you are.
You deserve a great loving guy. You deserve to hold your head up high and declare your 2nd (or 3rd or 4th!) chance at love and if you like, a committed relationship or marriage. Be confident and secure in the wisdom and insight you have (or are) gaining having gone through this divorce experience. You have experience. You’ve made a life changing commitment. You’ve dealt with your marriage ups and downs and ultimately the ending of love. You’ve been through so many emotions dealing with your ex, your family, and all of those who were affected by your marriage and divorce.
Now you are part of the sorority of women dating after divorce. Know what that means? It means you’ve made it. You’ve handled one of the most difficult experiences one can go through in life and you’ve come out on the other side victorious. You believe that love is out there. You don’t hate the opposite sex to the extent that you don’t want to date them or be near them. You still believe in love.
Right? You do still believe in love, don’t you? You believe that if you loved before you can love again? You believe that someone will find you irresistible, charming, and love your body flaws and all right? If you do believe this, bravo! If you don’t believe this just yet be gentle with yourself. Most importantly love yourself so that special someone can come into your life and love you too.
Happy dating woman!
