Re: DIVORCE
hmmmm...I have to say that when I divorced, I saw myself keeping up my career which I enjoyed and was completely dedicated to. I saw more opportunity for growth as I'd be free to travel or to take a position in the company anywhere, even other countries. I was considering joining the Navy - since I had a degree, I'd go in as an officer. So I was not relying on or focused on finding a new partner - I just considered myself on my own and I was doing well.
I happened to be very good friends with a colleague, we shared the same views on life, we had the same (somewhat strange) sense of humor, the same work ethic etc. When his rishta backed out, things developed between us and he went from being a great friend to being my beloved hubby.
To those who are recently divorced, I'd recommend not focusing on finding a partner. Focus on yourself only. At least for a while.
