Especially post-trauma, I'm a big proponent of taking time to heal, and getting to know and love yourself again. Healthy relationships stem from healthy individuals coming together, so if you're looking for something serious or long term, that's best started with you being in the best possible place with yourself.
Great points....I found that healing myself took so much work that it left no time for anyone else & getting emotionally involved with anyone else while you are healing & finding yourself again only messes up the process. We MUST know ourself NOT based on someone else but truly KNOW who we are so that we can have a REAL relationship with someone else in the future or like me, realize I am fine with myself & not interested in any more relationships because I like being the one in total control of my life (my marriage issues were mostly his financial irresponsibility) & I don't need to deal with any possibility of that being messed up again.
