How did you meet your current partners/husbands after a divorce

[ginnyjeans]

thought it might be interesting for the rest of us to see how we might meet our future mates! Or at least give us some hope ;)

How did you meet?
How long after divorce did you meet?
Were you reluctant to commit or did you rush right in?

In a bush.
I was hiding from my then partners, ex partner.

That may not be true.

In a pub on a drunken night out
4 weeks after exH left
Rushed right in!

7 years ago, getting married in August and have 2 DSs together plus my 2 DDs.

was on a girls weekend away from home met OH in a pub in chester, six months after ex and i split, long distance relationship for six months then he moved into mine, 2 years later married and 6th anniversary in october

12 months after divorce. Went out for dinner with friends, came back happily drunk and decided to go on random internet dating site as thought it was time to get out there . 1st person I met and the rest is history. Married two years and 10 week old daughter. Best thing I ever did! x

Wasn't married but after splitting from DS's dad, got chatting to an old school friend online and it turned out we still had lots in common

Was only about 9/10 months after the split and I was a bit nervous because it felt like I hadn't been single that long, he was a bit nervous because of me having DS, so we just decided to take things really slowly. And we are. I still have my freedom/space (I think I will always feel "free" TBH even if we end up getting married, just a contrast to XP who was so controlling I suppose) but he makes me really happy too and I know he'd be there if I needed anything :) I don't feel like I've given up any part of my singledom, it's not like I was going out pulling every night so it's a pure gain which is lovely when I was very happy being single in the first place.

Met through Lovestruck while separated and before divorce petition even reached the court (on grounds of two years separation). My marriage had been over for years by then, although we counted the separation from Jan 09 and I met the new man in Nov 10.

We both had history so were cautious, but four weeks after we met we went to Dubai for new year and four days of being in each other's company constantly helped us to realise what we already knew was happening...we were in love and wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.

Certainly a whole lot more than I expected from internet dating! I always hated the expression 'my other half' until I met him...now I feel incomplete if he's not here.

In yahoo chat room" down the pub" :o.I was still wed to exh but marriage had been over for years,was biding my time till divorce was do able. (Long story and enough for a thread of its own) We were just casual chat friends,nothing dodgy,( I missed the British sense of humor.
)When I decided the time was right to toss out exh ( he had attacked my ds2,so it wasn't just me at that point but my kids).My "chat friend" became my support,held me together through all the major BS that hit the fan after I threw exh out.Weve been married 8 years now and have a dd of our own.Hes awsome:)

Got set up on a blind date, two years after seperation, and one year after divorce. We hit it off straight away, he,s the love of my life, makes me laugh everyday, gets on great with my two children, and i with his. I am still nervous of things going wrong though as there is now four children involved :)
