My ex husband and I finalized our divorce six months ago. Since then, I've came out to my friends and family. Some people have been accepting, while others haven't. I am trying not to let that bring me down though. I feel like I'm at a point where I want to start dating again but I live in such a small country town and I've never met any LGBT people here. Has anyone tried online dating sites to see who is out there close by? Did you have any luck?
First of all, congratulations! I have no luck :'( But that doesn't mean the same for you! Are you still friends with ex-hubby?
Yes, we're still friendly due to the fact that we have two children together. Things were a little rough right after I confessed my feelings about other women to him but we managed to work through it. The kids and I have moved out and he has visitation with them every weekend.
I think its great that you and your husband are able to be civil thru this. It definitely helps the transition to be much easier. There's a lot of animosity between my ex and I.
I did try online dating, and it has worked for me. She contacted me, and one of the first questions she asked was if I had had any luck with online dating! Pretty funny in retrospect. If online dating isn't your thing, you might check out meetup.com. It gets suggested pretty regularly on here - there are groups based on interests and some areas have specific LGBT groups, as well. It's good that you and your ex are on good terms.
