7 Reasons Not to Wait too Long to Start Dating After Divorce

  1. Well I can honestly say, that if something unfortunate happened to my husband .... I mean, divorce of course ..... I would never ever marry again .... & I'm not even sure I'd want to date again. I feel like my kids ARE my family (even though Im married, I know ... sad) & I'd be fine being on my own.
