We have a small daughter together. He left me for a woman who was shorter, skinnier and blond. (he loves blond hair) I am tall, red headed and have a few extra pounds.

I would say take some time and make sure she is happy with herself and worked out all her problems over him leaving her for a younger woman. No reason to go back out in the dating pool if she hates all men or very bitter about men. I would tell her to take her time and move very slowly since she would be a very vunerable time right now and try to not judge all men by her dipshit ex.

I think it's all a matter if your ready or not. If things were bad and you knew it was over long before you actually left, then why wait? Just beware of the rebound relationship.... My mom and dad split when I was in grade 2. My dad was cheating on my mom and stayed with that woman until she left him. My mom on the other hand, didn't date for years and years. When my sis and I were teenagers, we both wished that she would date and butt out of our dating lives (ha ha). Now, 20 yrs later, she has finally met someone and they are very happy together. To each his own!

Longer than one day. I had a dream this weekend that my husband and I broke up and I got with a guy the next day. Now this isnt me at all, I've never been a tramp like that. But in the dream, I saw my husband the day after, (so like two days later) and he didnt think we had broken up, so I had to confess to having cheated on him, or what he would think was cheating cause he didnt think we broke up. Anyway, I told him about the dream and he said he'd just end it then if I had really done that. So let's say you should definately make sure there's no way you're getting back with the hubby.

As soon as she feels comfortable and ready for it!!! I am a single mother, so my only caution would be to wait to introduce anyone to the children until there is a solid relationship built!( that is if you have kids) Best wishes!!
((((((hug)))))) I just read what you added! So sorry honey! I know how much that hurts...my ex had cheated on me and is now married to his 3rd affair....but trust me when I say it is NO reflection on your worth as an attractive women....rather it is a reflection of what a turd HE is!!! e-mail me if you need to talk!

I don't think there is an "appropriate" time frame! I think it depends on the circumstances. Do you have children that bringing another man around too soon will confuse them? It all depends...Also keep in mind the rebound thing!

No time at all. The minute he walks out that door, your life is your own again. Don't let anyone tell you you can't he abandoned you and no court in the land will give him any leverage over you. You can date immediately.

the time is totally up to you you have no requirements for waiting any longer than you feel up to getting out in the world and showing that you can take care of your self.

She should wait til the divorce is final and published as a public record.
