Pay attention from the start...
Going into a relationship with your eyes wide open is important especially when dating a divorced man. Even without conflict dating a divorced man can have it's challenges because men typically don't get it when it comes to women.
To give you a better understanding of what might be going on with your divorced man let's look at the seven warning signs you should know and avoid. The seven areas of potential conflict I like to call 'red flags'. Each red flag is potentially a warning sign, an indication for you as a woman that something might not be right.
Are you compatible...
Red flag #1 - Possessive
Is he needy?
Does he constantly need to be with you?
He is unable to act independently of you?
If you're answering yes to these question it might be best for you to step back to consider whether or not you really want to have a relationship with him. Dating divorced men is challenging enough; adding possessiveness to the mix will make it even more challenging.
Red Flag #4 - Sexual Tendencies

You make the assumption that the men are to blame. This maybe true some of the time but, I am going thru a divorce and I am not the initiator or the main reason the relationship failed. I am not perfect but neither are any of the women that will be reading your blog. Women and men are different. Instead of suggesting the the man become a woman why not suggest that we accept that there are differences that make us unique and special.
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteI never suggested that men become women, nor that we shouldn't accept the differences between us. What I have said is that when dating after divorce, men typically don't get it where it comes to understanding how to relate to women. You may not agree with me, and that's perfectly alright, but in my experience this has proven to be the case more often than not.
