How do I start dating again after a 6 years of marriage and get past the heartache?
-
I've been married to my husband for almost 6 years and together for 10 years. He no longer wants to be married. He was the first and only man I have ever slept with...we started dating when I was 18 going on 19. I never imagined I would be getting divorced and don't want to but its out of my control. He says he is not happy and that is that, neither of us have stepped out on the other except for the past month he has been talking to a few other women. I love him with all my heart and do not want a divorce but he doesnt want to try anything to save it so even though i can't imagine being with anyone else right now (not as easily as he seems to be doing) I know I will be dating again and I know the topic of sex will come up. But how do i get started to get over this relationship? The though of being with someone else scares me! I don't plan on dating right away...nothing is even final legally, nothing has even been filed yet. My husband really means the world to me and I would do anything to save it, but there is no real hope for that. Please an real advice will be helpful...please be nice, no nasty comments, I am a real person with a breaking heart...thank you.

Answer:
Take things slowly and let things happen naturally; if his mind is made up there is no point in prolonging the sad situation; it is bad for you right now, but if he is treating you like this he is not worthy of your love. Take this time to make positive changes in your appearance and in your head; a new start, the chance of meeting someone really special who will treat you wonderfully, remember that feeling when your heart leaps on seeing someone? Don't give in to despair or depression, don't give your husband that satisfaction, he may be impressed with the way you could change and who knows even regret his actions. Date when you are ready, it's nothing to worry about, but it is something to look forward to, enjoy single life & don't commit too soon on the rebound.

First of all, I would suggest that you come to terms with the fact that your marriage is over. If your husband initiated the divorce, and is now seeing other women--I would think its safe to say things are coming to an end. Why would you want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with you anyway? You deserve much more. There is someone for you out there that will cherish you in a relationship. However, jumping into another relationship before the divorce is final, you haven't even given yourself time to heal. Focus on you right now. I would suggest making personal development your #1 priority. Take up a hobby, hit the gym, read self-improvement books, do things that make you feel good about you!! Check these sites: www.selfgrowth.com www.discoverahobby.com Once you get to a point where you are feeling good about you again, you will attract a man without even trying with your new found confidence!! I truly believe we find love when we least expect it. Trying a dating site might speed up the process, here are a few: www.eHarmony.com www.match.com www.100bestdatingsites.com But don't focus on forcing the dating thing, you might just run into the man of your dreams doing your everyday routine. Good luck to you, and remember--focus on you right now!!
you've just got to face the facts that he o longer wants to be with you, i know it sounds harsh but you just have to realise that someone better for you is out there. i know you love him still and been with him a long time but it doesnt work with one person loving. i am sure ull find someone who will love u and u will love them however i strongly advise not to date until things are legally settled as they may be some love from him for you left and u never know so id wait around good luck
Unless you are a total slob you shouldn't have an issue landing a new man and husband
At least wait until the divorce is final to date!
one of the misconceptions of life is that you need to have some one and the search leads to problems n heartbreaks. Firstly, you need to accept that divorce is not going to destroy your life and happiness it could lead to, maybe a better life. Take one step at a time, make the bold decision and hold your head high, pray nonstop for God to guide and help you. This is not the time to think of sex with whoever you are dating, this is the season for you to trust and love yourself and be a strong, independent person. You progress, becoming wiser day by day, no longer an extension of your outgoing husband.
study human relations and take a look at some online dating sites, the ones with integrity of course. eHarmony.com has an assessment tool that can help you learn about yourself and potential dates. There is a period of adjustment, there will be some grief type of issues surface from time to time in the form of reminders so be prepared to find a counsellor to help with these potential issues. Dating has changed somewhat over the past 10 years so the above suggestion can bring you up to speed on these changes. Also, learn about the nasty side. Some guys are experts at becoming who you want them to be. If you are feeling vulnerable after your divorce, find a counsellor and avoid dating until you have come to terms with the divorce. The above suggestions can help you take a careful personal inventory of your skills, aptitudes, beliefs and goals. It can help to weed out the undesirable potential date partners. Get to know yourself as a single person and put your lifestyle together the way you want it to be and become very selective with whom you do date. Become very very fussy, and always put your personal safety first.
You are MARRIED, I would talk to your lawyer/find your legal rights he can't get out it that easily maybe a judge can force him to take marriage counceling with you or something before he can divorce you. I know in my marriage we made it's so it's nearly impossible to get out, but if he's starting to talk to other women I would be really really worried. Like I said, it depends on what state you live in, but if you live in like Texas or something I think their laws and their demands on a marriage are a lot stricter, best luck :S
