paperboy48 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Does dating someone else or being involved with someone else make this easier? I am still in love with my ex-wife which we have been seperated for 6 months. I don't know if I'll ever be in a place where I do not love her. On one hand I feel I am not ready to start dating but on the other hand, I feel I might never be fully ready. Side note- I just noticed my Ex-wife recently became friends with a bartender from a pretty nice bar/nightclub in our area. I really want to say something to her about that which is why I am posting here instead. I am doing everything in my power not to show her my jealousy.
Philosoraptor Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I'll go with no, it doesn't make it easier... just delays it a bit. You'd be better off just taking care of yourself and healing up fully.
Eddie Edirol Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Yeah you have to deal with the pain and just wait to get over her. it might take a couple years, but dating someone new doesnt help you get over your wife faster, it just postpones the bad hurt, and you still think of your wife everyday while you are with someone new. Then when youre done with someone new, you feel even worse, because you are thinking about your ex wife again. Youre better off staying alone, thats the fastest way of getting over her.

Confusedcompletely Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I don't believe it makes it easier. I think in a lot of ways it may make it worse... At first it might help you be in denial about the break up or about the feelings you have about it, but in the end I think it would catch up with you. Also, I don't mean to be offensive but...you will probably put the person you date to get over the last in more pain than they need if you did that...which isn't very fair.

Nohbody Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I'll just agree with what most other people said. It hasn't really helped me, and honestly every time I've been with someone else, it's only made me feel like poop. However Everyone is different. Best of luck.
