It may be hard to understand, may even seem strange but dating after divorce for some people is simply not a priority:
I don’t need to date because my whole life is about making my business work so my son and I can survive. Number one is my son and my work and after that it’s taking care of my house and myself. After that it’s my friends and somewhere down in there, there isn’t any time left for anyone else and it’s just really simple. ~ Mardell
Mardell went from one abusive marriage and into another. In leaving her second marriage, she thought she would be penniless and homeless until a virtual stranger stepped in to help her. Mardell now has her own business and doesn’t ever want to be financially dependent on another person again.
Personally … dating has not been a priority for me either. I think I would like to be in a long term relationship but at this point, I’m not willing to make that a focus. My focuses have been my children and building my career. That’s shifting this year as my youngest will be off to college so may be this will change … we’ll see.
