Divorced and Dating – Tips for Divorced Singles

Dating after divorce comes with its own challenges. But there are also plenty of advantages too; you’re older, wiser, more sure of what you want and need from a relationship – in theory at least! But there’s often some work to do before you can be ready to date again. EliteSingles spoke with integrative psychiatrist Hilda Burke on the subject, and her advice is simple: “Letting go of a marriage invariably involves forgiveness” she says, “many people who are going through a divorce may blame themselves for deciding to get married or even for having been in the relationship in the first place. This is fruitless.”²

Burke also strongly advocates forgiving your ex-partner too, to “nullify the debt you feel they owe you.” Not dealing with these issues first only ensures you’ll carry excess emotional baggage into your next serious relationship. But, most importantly, divorced singles just need to keep their chins up; there’s not much in the world more stressful than a divorce, but getting through to the other side will make you stronger in the long run. To be divorced, dating and looking forward to the future again is a really good goal to keep in mind.

Divorced, dating and hoping for the best

Divorced singles tend to take to one of two camps following the break-down of their marriage; either they’re sworn off the idea of marriage forever, or they remain hopeful that they can find love and make another long-term commitment to a new partner.

If you’re in the latter group, you’re in good company. Our members choose EliteSingles because they want to find a deeper connection and long-lasting love – it’s pretty easy to find fellow marriage-minded singles right here.
