Rebound(ing)

First it feels wrong, then you meet somebody who blows you away. You tell yourself that it's not a rebound and convince yourself that everything is great.

Then the rebound ends and you realize that it hurts more than the divorce because you've been carrying all of that weight from the divorce and the rebound seemed like the answer to everything.

Maybe you'll find that you've jumped off out of the frying pan and into the fire. You found someone totally different but still like your ex.

Then you deal with the pain and grow, and when you are ready the right person walks into your life because you are finally ready.

Hang in there.

This is my experience and not necessarily for you but here's my advice. Fuck Tinder (for now anyway) and I only say this because you seem not sure, you'll know when the time is right and until then you're probably useless in a relationship anyway. Date yourself (lol right), but what I mean is be with yourself, work on yourself, be happy with yourself and enjoying your own company. When you fall into a new relationship, do it because you want to, not because you need something. If you want to sleep around, do it, but that's risky business and probably not the cornerstone to a new and successful relationship. Get involved in the things you might not have been able to do while married, the right person will come along, and it'll be worth it, be patient. I'm going through a similar thing so I feel ya, be choosy, you're worth it.

I tried the app for a while but then it felt so time consuming. I'll probably try it again tho

tinder is the worst. At least from my experience. im glad im not on there anymore. Girls all say there not into friends with benefits... I disagree. Its a meat market. And don't forget 80% of women only swipe on the top 20% of men.

Can't even look at myself in the mirror anymore. Can't imagine anyone else would.

I feel your pain

guilty of what? just be happy and keep browsing the app until you find the right girl.
