[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During my divorce, my now ex began dating a lady who he moved in with and launched a record speed love festival with. I even heard through several mutual friends that they were engaged. I'm not sure if she was just naïve or hopeful, but I couldn't believe how foolish she was and that she apparently had not heard of the word "rebound"

We were together for 20+ years and have 4 kids together. As soon as the divorce was final and the reality of our marriage being over set in, he broke up with her.

[b]I would be very hesitant about dating someone who is newly divorced. It takes a while to get someone fully out of your system, if ever.[/b]

i do think it depends on what led to the split etc.  My ex DW cheated and 3 years on my only interaction with her is txt and sometimes see each other at drop off kids etc. She barely exits at all in my head and that is great !   Yes it takes time to recover post divorce but also consider that for some the ex is a non-issue and non existent.

As for playing the field post divorce;  [b]I have met many women (40s - 50s) who are dating multiple people many years post divorce[/b] so maybe its good to have that conversation early on if you want to align expectations,   [/quote]

That would not be for me because women can find an unlimited # of men to date. No way I will compete for someone like its a TV show.[/quote]
