Yeah, Yes, Certainly, and Totally. When I separated. I kept the home of 23 years and ended up buying her a brand new house.
Online dating for me was a mixed bag. My best friend, my Australian Shepherd who I shared a room with was also struggling to adjust. I had women who where talking about moving in together after the third date and I still felt traumatized from the last 10 years of being with my wife.
Sex actually was not the first thing on my mind and finding solitude hiking or even working in the yard brought more fulfillment.
The one person I dated then married hung in there as I sorted out my confusion about my direction in life. We broke up twice. All my fault which supports your premise why dating people recently separated is a bad move.
So 100 percent agree with you. Great article.
