Why I’m Not Dating Anymore

article image placeholderUploaded by @elliemariyo
You. Hey, swellers, if you didn't know, I am recently divorced. Well, it's been almost a year, so maybe not recently, but the point is, slowly but surely, I've been getting back in the dating pool. Yes. No, we have not been enjoying it. I am getting out of the water. I am lifting my body out of this pool, rinsing myself off and drying myself clean

I’m emotionally drained 😩 #dating

Yeah, I can't count the times that I've gone in the dating pool and immediately come out of it annoyed. So deeply annoyed. And. And I do think. I honestly think that that works the best to focus on yourself. You're building whatever you want to build. You're having the life that you want to lead. And then somebody extraordinary comes along, notices or comes into contact with your specific kind of extraordinary, and you can be extraordinary together. I was thinking about this

Hello. Your story really resonated with me in my heart. I've been going through my second divorce now, and I mean, in my heart of hearts, I couldn't even imagine ever having one divorce. The thought just sickened me, and I finally, I had to go. In fact, both times I left and I didn't want to, but I couldn't stay in the circumstances as they were

But I realized when I first started dating, when I found myself single at 40 and dating at that time with a five year old kid, I dated a lot. But then I began to realize maybe about a year in that the more dates I had, the less I felt like I was about to meet my person, my next husband. And so I actually pulled back from dating
