[quote=Anonymous]For the PP (there were several) who realized it was too soon to date after X amount of time, or felt emotionally empty inside, etc. Do you think that will change over time, such that you may desire a relationship again? Just wondering what it's like in the trenches. I am contemplating divorce, the marriage itself is long-dead, it's a matter of me feeling financially and logistically I can pull it off, and then emotionally, ripping off the band-aid. I'm not in love now, but hope someday, I might be. And I don't expect to feel "ready" to try for a while (1,2, maybe 5 years!) Lots of emotional baggage to work through, 2 young elementary school kids. But I do yearn for the partnership, friendship, companionship I never had with my marriage. I'm afraid to start again knowing what I would want (eventually) is tall order. Maybe I'll find life on the other side, I won't want that anymore. But do you think about remarrying? Or finding a forever-mate (maybe no marriage, but lifelong partner?) Is that too much too ask for a 40-something divorced woman with kids?[/quote]
