[QUOTE="donna723, post: 515158, member: 1883"] There's a lot of good suggestions here. But if she's only been single a year or less, I hope she's not [I]TOO[/I] eager to rush in to another [I]serious[/I] relationship, especially if she still has baggage from the divorce. So many of us never had a chance to be on our own, to find out who WE really were and to develop our own interests. I know I didn't. I went right from living in my parents house to being married and then everything revolved around "we" and"us" and my husband. Then I had kids and the next two decades completely revolved around them and their needs. It wasn't until the kids left home and I was divorced that I was completely on my own and I finally figured out who [U][I][B]I[/B][/I][/U] was! And it was very empowering! I have made a nice life for myself and there is nothing "missing". I am competent and confident now and I am not dependent on someone else to"complete me" or take care of me - I'm fine just the way I am. I'm certainly not looking for another relationship and have no desire to ever marry again. BUT ... if one were to come along, I would be much better prepared to handle it now than I ever was before. There's a difference between "want" and "need". My life is good the way it is, but if someone were to come along that would make it even [I]better[/I] than it is now, I would go for it. I might "want" someone but I wouldn't "need" them, if that makes any sense. [/QUOTE]
