Divorce Is Seriously Destabilising.
Hey,
.
Hope your Saturday is going well for you
I cannot complain today because it is warm and balmy this morning and Big H is feeling fine.
The birds have been fed and my Hyacinths smell wonderful every time I open the door to the patio.
All is cool.

I was remembering years ago when a very wise lady told me that she was not going to make any decisions about her life at that particular time because in her opinion it took two years at the very least to get over a divorce, even a friendly one like hers had been.
That sounded very sensible to me, as you need to be satisfied with your life and yourself before you can think about anything else.
After all, even in a friendly divorce there must be feelings of failure because you embarked upon something so serious and meaningful, intending it to be forever, and it simply did not work out.
.
Recently a dating site released the results of their own survey into how long it takes to get over a divorce.
They did a poll which seemed to show that on average it takes roughly 18 months before divorcees are feeling that they have got over the emotional upheaval and are ready to consider moving on with their lives.
It turns out that a fifth of the people said that they felt that they would never completely get over it and over half said that it had to be the worst thing that had ever happened to them.
Six people in ten said they found it hard to cope with their own sense of having failed.
Five percent reported that even after several years they were still trying to cope with unresolved emotional issues.
.
Most people do eventually feel able to move on but it obviously is not easy or quick in most cases.
.
This is the link to the dating website, in case you are wish to consider using it.
It is apparently geared towards the needs of the over fifties.
I don’t know anything about it….but good luck if it seems to fit your needs.
.
To all of you peeps out there hoping to meet your Mr or Miss Right this coming Saturday evening….GOOD LUCK.
Take care.
J,x.
