Why, after experiencing betrayal, hurt, and disappointment in your marriage, does it become harder and harder to find the right one? What can you do about it?
- It may feel like you've lost trust in men, but remember, not all of them are the same.
- Realize that it's not your fault; a marriage is the work of two people.
- Understand that years go by quickly, so start a three-to-six-month journey to change your mindset.
- You might meet men you like, but they could be missing something on your list, or they may not be on the same page as you—they might not want the same things at this stage of life.
- Make a list of all the issues that affected you in your marriage, and find a way to forgive yourself and forgive him.
- Describe each negative issue, realizing that these may not necessarily appear in your next partner.
- Define the qualities in a man that would truly make you happy.
- Be honest with yourself about your faults and strengths, respect yourself, and never give up.
- Trust God and the Universe; when the right person is meant to come into your life, they will—as long as you address your pain and scars as soon as possible. Let it be.
