Divorced M with older kids, so been there, done that.

Have met many wonderful women post divorce. Many ST relationships and 2 somewhat LT (6mo and 9mo).

I haven't given it my all in any of these relationships, and the women saw that and ultimately left.

I'm unable to figure out if me not going all in is cause subconsciously I had doubts OR because I'm scared of commitment and not giving it a chance. I'm generally happy being single, but recognize a partner would be great.

This resonate?

Yes been there. You have work to do on yourself for sure to heal a bit, but it also may not have been the right people. Doing the work on you should clear up both issues.

We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
