Divorced Men: The end of a marriage needs to be mourned

Is it really over...

The end of a marriage needs to be mourned before it can be put permanently away and the divorced person can move on to a new, healthy, committed relationship. The process will take time. Rush it and he is destined to end up divorced once again.

Denial is part of the process...

- All we need is a little break and everything will be okay.
- It wasn't my fault.
- It really wasn't that bad.

It really is over...

Until he comes to terms with the finality of the divorce and he is able to let go of his connection to the relationship it will be difficult for future women to form a real and lasting bond.

Dating divorced men with children: Should you stay or should you go...

Are you prepared...

Every relationship, given enough time, will have its ups and downs this article will help you understand when those down moments really matter. Those down moments that matter are what I call warning signs. Each warning sign brings with it a particular challenge and or limitation to the relationship or the possibility of having one in the future.

Warning Sign #7...

If you're dating a divorced man with children then "Warning Sign #7" will be extremely important for you to understand. Remember, this is about him not you. If he has children you will need to understand that your relationship and the time you spend with him will be influenced by his role as a father.

And if time wasn't enough of a challenge, be prepared because you will no doubt have some differences with him as a parent. Understanding this ahead of time can prepare you for those moments giving you and opportunity to be less reactive and more responsive.

There are seven warning signs in all...

Dating Divorced Men: 7 Warning Signs You Should Avoid

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

Sexual styles and appetites can vary; having different values in the bedroom can cause stress in a relationship.

Are you conservative? Is he?
Do you like to experiment? Does he?

Sex is definitely something to be considered.

There are at least 7 Red Flags...

Divorced Men Can Get It Right!

It took me 35 years...

It took 35 years, in all, one divorce and several failed relationships to understand what it takes to 'get it right'. I absolutely did it the hard way.

A Guiness record...

In my personal life its worth noting I was a divorced man for 25 years. Which may be some kind of a record, I'll have to check with Guiness.

Most divorced men get remarried within approximately 2 years of their previous marriage.

It's very uncommon for someone to stay divorced for a long period of time like i did and then to get remarried. If they're divorced for more than a few years they usually never mary.

There is hope...

If you're dating a divorced man just know there is hope, especially if he wants to 'get it right' the next time. You don't have wait 25 years for him to 'get it right'.

As a woman there are ways for you improve the odds when dating a divorced man and there are ways for you to know whether or not he's worth the time and the effort.

You don't have to do it the hard way. If you have question I would like to hear it. Just goto Ask Frank Spitzig and send me your question.

If you don't know what he's thinking his mistakes can go unnoticed leaving you to cope with the challenges of dating a divorced man who isn't ready or even committed to "getting it right" the next time around.
