Dating After Divorce
6 min read
There is no standard waiting period after a divorce. Some people are ready within a year. Others need longer, and that is not a failure.
A useful test is whether you can tell the story of your marriage without needing the other person to agree with your version of it. When the story stops being an argument, you have usually processed enough to be present with someone new.
The second test is practical. Is your life organized enough that you can offer someone consistency. Dating well requires a certain amount of steadiness in your schedule and your attention.
If you have children, they belong in the conversation but not in the early stages of it. Most people find it easier to date when the new relationship has time to become real before it becomes public.
