Just curious as to what others think..

How soon is too soon to go into another relationship after a separation/divorce etc?
Or should it be whenever a person feels comfortable and ready for another relationship?


Thanks.

I reckon go for it whenever you are ready. If you feel comfortable, do it.

If you meet someone don't knock it back. Sometimes it's harsh world and can take to long to find someone new. You don't have to be by yourself just because your previous relationship didn't work out.
But, as a person that may have once been in the position of meeting someone new, keep your children out of it till you know the person better. And know if that person will sticks round. Kids don't need to see mommy with a different man a couple times year. And til you can judge the sort of person that man is to make sure no harm comes to your children.
When you become a mommy you cant just jump into relationships willy nilly.
But, doesn't mean you can't try and start a new relationship if someone comes along. Just be careful with your kids.

I think hold off until all the baggage has been resolved iykwim.
Some people leave a relationship with no baggage, and can get involved with someone else straight away. Some have loads and need more time.

Its also nice to have some solo time to focus on yourself though.

Don't think there is a blanket rule though smile

I think is someone's still pregnant it's probably too soon. And if someone needs to ask that question.

Thanks for the replies.

I have been separated from my ex-partner since I was 19 weeks pregnant and have just found out he is with another woman who he has been with since not long after we split and I just thought it was a bit soon...
-But each to their own I guess.

I'm not looking to get into a relationship just yet. -I don't think bringing a man into the house just as I'm about to have another baby would be the best thing to do..

Thanks again. smile

I think it also depends on in the persons mind the relationship finished.

Using you as an example- you seperated at 19weeks but in his mind the relationship may of been going down hill or over for months.
I had a friend who was engaged, they broke up and within 2 months she was dating again - in her mind their relationship had been over for about 6months and she just needed to make sure it really was and get the guts to leave.

Well if I think about it I guess he was pretty distant for several months before one day he just grabbed his things and left!
I havn't heard from him since and occasionally see him around with this new woman.. <img src='http://www.huggies.com.au/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />
