BTDT Moms and dating after divorce

Hello, I am currently going through a divorce. I also just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I would like to go back out into the dating world some day, not this minute, next month, this year, etc. BUT, I would like to ask anyones advice and btdt ideas on how to handle dating. I met my husband online and that was a disaster, he was a con-artist. Ideas on how to get back into the dating game once I am ready.

Thanks!

Christy

Christy,


Welcome to the board and CONGRATULATIONS on your little one!


I'm sorry that the relationship with your husband didn't work out- it's always tough to make that kind of decision when you have

Hi, Christy, and welcome! The women here have wonderful advice! With a new baby, you have your hands full, but you will know when you're ready to start dating again, and for some people, that's surpringly quickly.

This is not a judgemental board, but only you will know when you're ready. With a new baby, I think the best course of action, once you are ready, would be to start very slowly, and just have fun with dating. You didn't say how old you are, or how long you were married, but it's really irrelevant in any case, I think.

Welcome to the board, and stick around!

Ladies,

Thank you for the advice thus far. By the way, I am 29 years old. I was married only 2 1/2 months before he wanted a divorce. I am still dealing with the divorce. I have my good days and bad days. It is hard to find any type of support systems here in Indianapolis for a single mom. I am hoping Ivillage can help me. I am also a part of the March 2006 expecting board.

Thank you,

Christy
