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?  I have a very hard time getting this, especially after 39 years together.  I am waiting longer than a year to start dating.  I want to be healed emotionally and be healthy before dating"Dating too soon after divorce is the single biggest mistake I see people make.  And, contrary to what it may seem like to you, it's a mistake made by both men and women.  It's a mistake made by the one wanting a divorce and the one who wants to stay married.   Young twenty-somethings with no kids make this mistake as do mid-life empty nesters.  Almost anyone is susceptible to falling in to this trap.
