How soon is too soon?

I've been separated from my husband for about 4 months. We've started the divorce process. I know he's already dating cause he wasn't faithful our entire relationship... I'm not interested in dating right away but I miss having someone to talk to. How soon is too soon to start talking to other men? Idk maybe I'm overthinking this šŸ˜…

There is no right time except when you are ready ā¤ļø

I would definitely take some time to heal. Just because he’s doing it doesn’t mean it’s healthy. He obviously has a lot of self work to do.
Just take some time to focus on you, make some new friends, and heal from the trauma (because it’s definitely trauma). Focus on who you are separate from him so that when the time IS right, you’ll know who you are and what you have to offer.

You can talk now. It’s just talking šŸ’šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø you can still heal, focus on yourself, and have some guy friends to talk to.

There's no harm in talking, it's nothing serious. You can heal and have male friends at the same time

After I split with my ex long term boyfriend we had a house together bank accounts so was very involved. He left it about an hour before he was back on dating sites! I eventually felt after 3 months I was done sitting around and joined apps I met my now husband not longer after I joined lol

Whenever your ready is the right time. I split from my husband 9 months ago. I'm still not interested.

Talking is fine but definitely make sure you wait as he will try to use it against you. Mine did lol. Way easier to just wait for the divorce to be completely over so they don't try to put all these spots rules in your divorce contract.

Get back on the horse. Go on a few dates with the horse. Date a few different horses. And then, when the time is right, ride a nice big horse like your life depends on it. šŸ‘‰šŸ‘Œ

I’m just speaking as someone who married the person that ā€œjust got on a dating app to talk to peopleā€ after a divorce. We BOTH agree that he needed to take more time. It’s not fair to you. And it’s not fair to the person you’re going to be with next. The amount of extra work and turmoil and hardship we had to go through to make it work was incredibly difficult and probably wouldn’t have succeeded if not for our son. And you’re adding a child into that - because it’s not just about how you feel anymore.

If your happy to move on, then go for it.

Don’t do it because he’s doing it. Heal first. He’s probably in pain or not. But wait until you heal. If not dating will suck!! Trust me. Go twerk and get massages! šŸ˜‚

Get on a dating app and chat to someone xx be aware that they will be a rebound so try to not get serious with them. Be open and honest about what you’re going through so no one gets hurt x
