Starting a new relationship with a person is always a challenge , especially because from that moment on we will shape a present and future with him or her.
However, the past is what, on many occasions, causes us doubts . You cannot deny me that, in most cases, knowing that there was someone before , causes us some suspicion , especially if it was a commitment as big as a marriage , but do not worry, because today I tell you everything you need to know about a divorced man before starting a relationship.
It must be recognized that although a love breakup is never easy to go through, a divorce is even more difficult, and knowing the process that person goes through can help you adapt and understand it even more. According to some experts , there are 5 phases that a person goes through after a separation of this type:
Denial and isolation phase
It is the phase in which you desperately seek ways to recover what you lost, even when you know that there is no solution . Waters if you place your prospect in this phase! I recommend that, for your emotional health , do not even try it, it is far from ready for something new.
Anger phase
After recognizing that there is no solution , the person will seek to blame someone for what happened, whether it be his ex-partner or himself . If you observe this type of attitude in him, it would be best to withdraw a little, since that person is not ready to start a new relationship .
Negotiation phase
Try to be patient , because at this stage he will seek to understand the reasons why the separation occurred , and this can result in two ways: he will seek reconciliation or he will seek to do things better with you. It is very easy to locate your beau in this phase, since, in it, he will seek an approach , but be careful because it may be with you or with his ex-partner
Depression phase
In this phase your participation is very important, since you will be very close to formalizing a relationship with him. You will start to see the mistakes you made and feel like you acted wrong, making you feel sad and discouraged . If this person really interests you, support him , since he in turn will seek to cling to someone valuable and that someone may be you.
Acceptance phase
After everything they have been through, this person has agreed to leave their past behind , so they will be ready to start a relationship; However, and although it is visible to recognize a person who has reached this phase , there may be actions that make you doubt , so I recommend you observe their reaction to five key questions :
- What kind of relationship are you looking for with me?
- Why did you choose a divorce before?
- How do you feel about talking to me about your divorce?
- Can you recognize the cause of your divorce?
- What do you think of your ex partner ?
If, after all, you still have doubts, you can ask her some things that will make her feel comfortable.
Do not forget to follow your intuition , if you notice that he is uncomfortable with the answers, or even if you yourself do not feel comfortable with what he says or shows, that person may not be for you. If, on the contrary, both you and he have so much confidence to talk about a subject as delicate as that, rest assured that you have not only found love , but also a life partner . Success
