BUT, if the intent is to start a serious relationship, you'll have very little real substance to offer someone as long as there is emotional baggage.

This is why the 1st serious relationship following a divorce rarely works out-- the divorced person moved too quickly.

You can date sooner of course and have little trouble...

Farting becomes funny You're both so comfortable that unleashing the odd fart isn't really that big of a deal any more.

After months or years of dating, it’s the best feeling in the world when you finally meet someone you can have a relationship with.

It is only natural to feel hurt, and that will take time to heal.

However, you can begin to heal more quickly by looking at the situation for what it truly was: the end of something that was dysfunctional and not so great.
