Dating in your 40s after divorce

Dating After Divorce for Women Over 45

I was married for over 15 years so I was completely out of touch with modern dating and had no idea what to expect. As many of us do, I landed in a rebound relationship immediately after leaving my marriage. The rebound ended up being an even more manipulative and physically abusive relationship than my abusive marriage, and that was my first lesson. Lesson 1: If you date too quickly after divorce, you end up in a similar relationship to the one you left. They were all charismatic and fun, but self-centred and attention-seeking. My relationship style was very one-sided. I very quickly started to see that dating after divorce would require me seeking out new types of people and learning to behave in different ways in a relationship. When I was in my 20s, I dated men around my age or a few years older. I assumed it would be the same in my 40s, so when men from 19 to 55 started showing an interest, it threw me.

How ironic, that a Wedding Planner is now a Divorce Coach—but it just goes to show you that we are all multi-faceted and multi-talented women in the business world! In my work with women—particularly those of us over 40—divorce is not uncommon. Many women I know over 40 are on their second or even third husband. Find the right dating service or app. Generally, paid apps will yield better results because the commitment of a paid app means people are more serious about finding a partner. Consider the idea that free apps allow people to secretly browse and date without leaving a financial footprint—possibly allowing married people to cheat, which would be a dealbreaker for your dating life. If you have the financial means, using a dating service, where you meet with the matchmaker in person, and they find you people who they think are compatible partners and arrange introductions.
