Take the time, to heal your wounds from the marriage. Take a good look at him, you, and the relationship. Lessons learned, etc.

Learning to trust again, involves taking a good look, at repeated patterns, in your life, so as to avoid, repeating them, in the future.

I used therapy, to help, learn how to approach the single life and as a means of helping me, look at my needs list, so that, if I ever saw red flags, I would spot them, right away and know how to walk away.

Being able to trust yourself, seems to be a key element in learning how to trust another person.
