7 MORE Relationship Red Flags for Dating a Divorced Man
Thats why he’s divorced to begin with! Dating someone who has been divorced brings a unique set of baggage to the relationship. Looking for an old soul like myself. My point is for all of you that are in this boat, please take a step back and look at your relationship with this man without the blinders on.
Dating the Divorced Man: Sort Through the Baggage to Decide if He’s Right for You “Hands down, the best book there is on dating separated and divorced men.
If relationships were like the airlines, then that would mean you are only allowed to take one carry-on bag into your new relationship. What should be in the bag? In my opinion, hope, peace, acceptance, the love you have to offer, kindness, honesty, inspiration, fun, and among the most important, your love of being a parent. Unfortunately, I think that divorced men and women violate the FAA rule when it comes to how much baggage they carry on into their new relationship.
But, let me explain why I think it’s understandable. Let’s say your marriage or last relationship ended because your spouse cheated. Cheating can be traumatizing to men and women, and being skeptical, cautious, paranoid, and even fanatical really is understandable. I hate when people say that when enough time has gone by, someone who was cheated on should be able to move on and not even think about it in their future relationships.
They are obviously missing the point that the pain, trauma, disappointment, and lack of trust is something that might stay with a person who was cheated on forever. But cheating isn’t the only baggage I’m talking about that violates the FAA rule. What about addiction?
