pikengren: it does vary from person to person. it's been about two years for me, still not sure if i'm ready, but thinking about it. my best approximation , she started about two years before the divorce.

It is different for everyone.

I almost got started again right after my divorce. I was 27 yrs old and I was wise enough to realize I needed to heal and called it off almost as soon as it had gotten started. The Guy was devastated. He was a very nice guy. I feel bad to this day.

His Mother and Mine had been in touch and His parents understood.

After that It took me three years b4 I dated again.

I know in Counceling and for Al-anon Family groups they say no major decisions for 6 months to a year. I think they say the same for AA as well, but don't quote me.

That does seem like good advice.

This is just something that can't be timed, you can't time how soon you will fall in love, or how soon you will fall out of love.

The best you can do for youself and the next person you are involved with is get past the anger and hurt feelings first.

If your still thinking of your ex everyday, your not ready.

There is no time frame for how and when people fall in love.

But it's for sure important not to be in a marriage when proposing another marriage. JMO.

It is essential to allow ourselves time to exhale. Rediscover who we are. After being a part of a relationship where it is not me, but we, it is important to set up our own home and figure out what we want for our future. Do you want to rush into something blindly, take the time to get to know someone, or have alone time to do things we may have had to sacrifice for someone else.
I have been divorced for 3 yrs. and I am happier being single than I ever was being married. I can be myself and do my own thing. I live by my own rules. I am open to meeting someone, but I do not wish to remarry. You can have a relationship with someone and still have your own space. There are much worse things in life than staying single. beer

I say whenever your ready you will know it. Just be careful not to fall into a rut and let that failed relationship keep you from jumping back in the game. I started dating about 3 weeks after my divorce. It helps sometimes..............banana

I couldn't begin to guess a time cause everyone is totally different.I see getting over a divorce as being no different then getting over a spouse who passed away cause there's still mourning and grieving involved.Only you'll know when the time is right for you to do so.

I think there is a big different. Many of the healing steps are the same but With a divorce your spouse is walking around and that's a big difference...

Hey get with someone as soon as you want to It doesn't have to be forever but it will help you realize there is life after divorce and that someone else can still care about you.cheers
