Cindy - you are level-headed. Way more so than I, or many people on this list. For a time I would advocate everyone take a breather before they date. Once you're in it's hard to get out and mistakes are made. Sometimes big ones - just ask some of the married twice, divorced twice crowd.

"Do you ever think "Whoa. It must really suck to be with someone so soon after the divorce."?"
Absolutely! I look at my ex who is now *openly* seriously involved with his other woman and think, man! When did you get a chance to figure out yourself before jumping back into it?
Right now I firmly believe that I do not want to ever get married again. I have been on my own for almost two years, I have dated (some successful, some not), and I have yet to get to the point where I have introduced my kids to someone. I just prefer my life compartmentalized right now.
I can't imagine having someone else in my house, making rules, taking up space, invading my space, and hogging the remote control. No way.
Maybe I'm just jaded and in deep denial, but if I am, I'm happy being there!

"I flit about like a hummingbird, not knowing how I feel about whom on what day. I date and date, and then get sick of dating. I'm not a safe nor smart choice."
ME TOO ... but getting closer to solid ground every day
"Then, I think of my ex and others who are now married to or living with their affair or 1st post-d relationship, and I think "Yuk. That can't be good." The fallout from divorce almost guarantees we're going to go through a huge gamut of emotions. Not a solid foundation on which to build a relationship."
I OFTEN WONDER ABOUT THIS. Still not sure if he found his ideal mate, or fell into a sinkhole.

Exactly. And wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall to see how they interact? Like, if we were obsessed and couldn't let go of their sorry asses, which we are not?
