If you have been around Well and Worthy Life for a while you may know that I have been divorced twice. Yes, that’s right two times. I am not proud of it but I certainly can share some advice with you on dating after divorce.
A few months ago I wrote a post on 3 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me After My Divorce. One of the things was wait to date. I think it is different for everyone on how long you should wait until you date but you should first be happy with yourself before you start dating.
What do I mean by being happy with yourself? I mean to look for someone else to make you happy, to make you feel like a woman. You can do that yourself!
We have these dreams as little girls to grow up and find our prince charming only to realize there is really no such thing! Sure some women will say they have found their soul mate or their prince charming but look we live in an unperfect world.
Working on yourself first is the most important advice I could give anyone. Dealing with your baggage from your family of origin and now your past relationships and examining why you do the things you do or react the way you do.
Once you work on these issues you will hopefully be attracted to the right kind of person but again let’s face it there will still be problems. That is why I believe in counseling. It is just good for your mental health.
I have been in and out of counseling for the past 13 years and I continue to work on myself.
