This all depends on the reasons and outcome of the divorce... If it ends on good terms or on bitter terms and such.... It takes longer time for some people then others... You need counseling and time to help get past the pain of it and there is not timeline here.. Slowly over time you start to maybe want to date again someday and maybe find someone... Sometimes it is difficult and other times not so bad.... Like i said all depends... Some local churches offer a divorce recovery workshop that helps with things too... I went to that and it helped me alot.

How long it takes to recover from a divorce is an individual thing and varies a great deal. Personally I cried every night for six months. Then one night I thought, "Wait a second. This jerk had sex with boys; molested our own little boys; is not worthy of one more tear." I realized I was crying for what I WISHED he'd been; what I THOUGHT we had going for us; for the nice family I THOUGHT we made.
Just one suggestion for you. Recover before you begin to look for someone else. Marrying the first guy that comes along is always a mistake!! And then you'll be recovering from another divorce before long.

u begin to recover when u can finally see him for what he was, and not who u thought he was or wanted him to be. everyone is different as for the timing. if it was an especially nasty breakup where there was betrayal, it takes much longer. just have to get back out there, reach out for what u want, but be careful and choose wisely and never ever compromise your morals, or belief system just to get a man. sometimes some people seek therapy, self help groups, the friendship of others going through the same difficulties.

you recover as long as it takes. Please, do not just into something you know is wrong. Many women make a mistake of doing things they never done before. Examples: going to clubs, tatoos, one night stands. Get yourself together. It is your time now. Find yourself. Get to know yourself. Fall in love with yourself all over again. The rest will come to you.

Recovery will depend on each relationship, all are different. My husband died by his own choice (suicide), I had been detached for many years prior. I was sick of all the non-sense involved with him. He was an alcoholic, did not know the meaning of truth, had anger issues, was bipolar and was just too much to deal with. I met my new husband just 6 months after my late husbands death, we were married 12 months later. I have never been happier, ever!! ;-) Good luck!!
