One thing I never expected to feel was grief. Going through a divorce felt like I had lost one of my best friends and, in some ways, my sense of security as well.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably somewhere in that strange, disorienting limbo between “my marriage is over” and “I think I might be ready to try again.” Maybe you’ve already downloaded the apps. Maybe you’ve been on a few dates. Maybe you’re lying in bed at 1am wondering if you’ll ever feel that electric connection with someone again, or if that part of your life is just… done.

I want to be honest with you. Dating after divorce is one of the most psychologically complex things a person can do. Not because the apps are confusing (though they are), and not because the dating pool has changed (though it has). It’s complex because your nervous system is still wired to someone who is no longer your person. And until you understand that, you’re going to keep running into walls you can’t see.

I’ve been a licensed marriage and family therapist for over 17 years. I’ve sat with hundreds of people navigating the wreckage of a marriage that didn’t make it. And I’ve watched, with equal parts compassion and concern, as many of those same people launched themselves into new relationships before they understood why the last one failed.
