Rebound after marriage

4 replies

Sausagemash · 06/05/2019 08:06

So after a flatmate type marriage (previously on sexless marriage thread) we split up 2 months ago amicably.
Met someone 1 month ago although I wasn't looking as I had no intention of wanting to meet anyone for a long while.

We get on great in every way, completely different to the ex in many ways. Makes me realise what I've missed out on. However is it too soon for this to work? It doesn't feel a rebound as I checked out of marriage years ago, however I know people will think this.

Any experience of relationships working so soon after marriage?

Couldn't you just enjoy it as dating, as fun, take it as it comes? Why start to lock it down into something serious and worry about it working longterm, so soon into it?

You're just out of a longterm domestic arrangement, put some time into enjoying your liberty.

Enjoy it and have no expectations. I’ve been separated a year, divorce is due to complete in a few weeks (his decision as he fell out of love and I thought the world had fell out of my arse) I met someone a few months ago and also felt similar to you but I’m just enjoying it for what it is and trying to let my guard down after being shit on. If it feels right then embrace and enjoy it, just don’t run before you can walk, enjoy the dating and newness! X

Don’t be too desperate to jump into another relationship.

I don't believe in too soon.

I do believe in too much, too soon.

Sometimes it works when you meet someone else straight away. Sometimes it doesnt.

In my experience the ones that have less chance of work are to ones they head straight into another serious relationship.

I met dp 10 days after leaving exh. But we slowly became friends, then dated then got serious.

It have me the space and time I needed.
