Life Coaching
FOR MEN:
She’s divorced! Do I really want this?
You’re a man truly emotionally drawn to this woman you’ve begun to date… you already have been out with a bevy of women this year, and there is something about her.
She’s different. She’s special. Besides being hot, she’s smart and sophisticated and so much fun. You haven’t laughed as hard in a few years.
Then come the questions which begin to seep into your mind. If you’re honest with yourself, some of these questions are nagging: Do I want to be a stepdad to young children? I know she cares for me and wants this relationship, yet I’m not sure if I have it in me… my own children are nearly grown.
She’s a widow! With small children.
I like her… In fact, I think I’m beginning to fall for her. She’s smart and independent. She’s witty and sassy and sexy. Her kids are 9 and 12. They need a dad. I don’t know that I’m up for being a stepdad to young children… Need to talk with someone. I feel conflicted…
FOR WOMEN:
He’s divorced! I really dig him! Now what?!
I was beginning to think that I would n e v e r feel what I feel for him. I so enjoy our time together… his wild laugh and his wit, his depth of understanding about my crazy family, his sensitivity to me.
But… that he’s had a life before me is fine; however, his ex is constantly making things complicated for us with her bouts of anger and jealousy. I just don’t know if I can handle it. I think I need to talk with someone about this.
He’s widowed! What a great guy… however…
His adult children are so distant whenever we are together, especially his daughter. They’re still grieving their mother’s loss… Do I have the patience to walk this journey with him?!
Hi, I’m Lesleigh. I know the pain of living through a divorce. I am now, later in life, happily married to a former widower… (whose late wife and I share the same birthday… I understand the complexity of becoming emotionally close to a widower)!
