After divorce we feel defeated in love. We might stop believing in it altogether.
We may be spending what little energy we have left after the battle, providing and being there for our children. We’ve stopped believing in fairy tales but the time will come eventually when we look forward to new relationship(s).
Maybe we’re even looking for that perfect fit we call love. You know what I mean…that someone out there who holds the key to our heart, if only we knew where to find them!

Forget the sins, let’s talk about the signs. Deadly ones. Meaning if two or more of these are in your relationship then stop, drop and roll it over. In other words, stop any plans for marriage, drop any ideas about long term commitment and roll him gently out the door.
In my mind I’m not the older woman because I’m 22, don’t ya know? However, the calendar begs to differ. Last year I celebrated my 50th spin around the sun and the number still stuns me, just a little. So, any-who, men have been doing it since the dawn of time. They’ve been enjoying the beauty of much younger women. To the older woman’s vexation, it’s perfectly acceptable—a feather in his cap.

We think it’s the right dress for us. We loved that color at the time…but now looking back at an old photo we wonder “What was I thinking?”
Huge shoulder pads, ‘pleather’ pants, floral material at the bottom of our bell bottom jeans. Pea green skirts and dresses to match our appliances. Stirrup pants with white boots? Onesies—oh they’re back, baby but you won’t catch me in one.
How about the Grunge era? Did you have a man to match your baggy plaid shirt, Doc Martins and greasy hair? Kurt Cobain was kind of hot.
10 Red flags that indicate your new man is a SHARK and NOT a fish.
Divorced women become unwitting prey for sharks skimming along just below the surface. They’re under the radar with their fin and teeth well hidden. They’re floating in bars, restaurants, social media and dating sites.
