My Ex and I split up in August 20 after 20yrs together and 15yrs of marriage. We had to live together for another year but finally live apart.
I've struggled with the end of my marriage and losing my identity as a married woman even though I drove the divorce after years of unhappiness but finally feel ready to 'get back out there'.
Everyone says I should leap into bed with someone but I actually want more than that. Though it's weird my Ex is the last person I slept with. And he went straight into a new relationship which made me feel v odd and still does.
I live in the country but visit London regularly. I'm going to join a private members club there and have just joined a local theatre (to have a go at acting) and a walking group. The divorce diet has wiped away a stone and a half and I'm getting my teeth whitened and cries replaced. Just to feel better and have more confidence as I'm 55.
I am a bit unsure about dating apps. What is your experience/advice regarding them?
How long after your separation /divorce did you know you were ready to date again?
