Divorce is a major life change and so it's usually very stressful. This is why you may be experiencing a lot of nervous tension and poor sleep (and why you need to start taking care of yourself and your health). When it comes to post-divorce issues such as dating, again different people react in different ways. For many women, dating is about the last thing on their mind. In the early stages of separation and divorce, you're more likely to be feeling hurt, angry, betrayed, depressed, frightened, nervous and even guilty.

Issues surrounding the children, living arrangements, access, how you're going to get by financially and property settlement are going to be more important than dating some new man. You may even be "over men", at

least temporarily. It may be that you are still in love with your husband and you are experiencing that sense of loss and grief. Sometimes separation and divorce are harder than if your spouse had died in a car accident - at least that way, there's no chance of you running into him down the street!

There are no hard and fast rules as to when you should start dating. Divorce is a process - not just a legal and practical one, but an emotional and psychological journey as well. What we have found though is that it is tougher to deal with where the other party has already entered into a new relationship with someone else, and you haven't. You can feel a lot of anger and resentment in such circumstances. Why, because you feel like a victim - cast off

From an emotional point of view, coping successfully with divorce involves: -

(a) Letting go of old habits, patterns, expectations and dependencies when it comes to your husband.

(b) Accepting what you can't change and learning to let go of hurt, fear, blame, guilt and resentment.

(c) Re-evaluating your own expectations so you don't repeat past mistakes.

(d) Forming a a balanced view of your new situation. Marriages do break down for lots of reasons.

(e) Re-building your self-confidence and developing an openness to new intimate relationships.

know that you may be completely dis-interested in dating or having any sort of intimate relationship with another man right now. That's okay but there will come a time when this isn't the case. Don't believe me? How many divorced women do you already know who haven't gone on to form new relationships or re-marry - not many probably! Guess what, the same thing is very likely going to happen to you also. It's just a question of when.

What's more important is knowing when you're ready to start dating. Starting too soon or for the wrong reasons is not going to help re-build your self-confidence or help you develop an openness to new intimate relationships.

a relationship with someone other than your husband. These days, the world is a two-way street right!

I've known some women who have started dating almost immediately. Others may enjoy what are known as "transitional sex partners". One of the major issues for women when they're ready to start dating is where and how to start. Personally, I believe that you should start by simply getting together with friends or work colleagues for fun, relaxation and enjoyment. Men can spot a desperate housewife a mile off! It's often when you stop worrying about finding a new man that everything starts to fall into place. If you are having a good time, you'll automatically make an impact and attract attention. No one wants to be around someone who doesn't
