Question - (30 April 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 30 April 2011)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Just wondering if anyone has had a difficult time forming a connection with someone (a significant other) after ending a bad relationship with a first love?

My bf and I were together for 2.5 years, all the while he was cheating on me with other women behind my back. Finally I ended things, and it has been a year that I have been single. I have been on countless dates with many great guys but find myself having a hard time forming a real connection with anyone, and wanting to take things further.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and can give me reasons as to why, or tips on how to get past this. I am not sure if it has to do with the fact that I am still extremely hurt by my ex's lies and betrayal or if I am just afraid to be hurt again, or if I am just not ready yet? Thanks!

Ever hear of the rebound relationship? Just go through the motions and find your feet but don't lie and let it be open and honest. Maybe you'll be surprised: my rebound lasted longer than my marriage.

As far as the dynamics go...its hard to get over the hurt of someone cheating on you.

the best medicine is unfortunatly the worst as well and that is trust. You could get burnt again or find the love of your life.

Tips? Embrace your inner senuous self and go wild. Or go clinical an date only about 99.9 percent of the matches.. or join a nunnery...or just be yourself and enjoy the fact you have freedom from relationship ties.
