081 SDP How To Deal With Your Ex Dating

I recently received an email from Sandy with the following question: "Why do men rush in to dating and relationships so quickly after divorce? \xa0I have a very hard time getting this, especially after 39 years together. \xa0I am waiting longer than a year to start dating. \xa0I want to be healed emotionally and be healthy before dating"

Dating too soon after divorce is the single biggest mistake I see people make. \xa0And, contrary to what it may seem like to you, it's a mistake made by both men and women. \xa0It's a mistake made by the one wanting a divorce and the one who wants to stay married. \xa0 Young twenty-somethings with no kids make this mistake as do mid-life empty nesters. \xa0Almost anyone is susceptible to falling in to this trap.
