So she's recently divorced...

[Tmed09]

I have been wanting to date this girl I work with for some time. She's just been recently divorced and so we start dating. All has been going great! Then she went to her family's for a function. And her ex was there. Apparently her father invited him.
She was upset and so was I but I didn't show it. She texts me for a few days and then I recieved a text yesterday that stated she was very upset in dealing with everything. She said she wanted to focus on herself. I haven't been texting her every waking moment, calling every second, etc.
I've been divorced and I understand what she is going thru. Knowing what you know from this post..do you think I need to back off totally, back off but send occasional texts from time to time or find someone else to date?

Hmm - check out this thread that MattC posted a few days ago:

He just married a divorced woman and is dealing with some issues there, and they didn't have kids.

I think you should back off. But first, how old are you? If you are in your mid-20's, I would wonder why you would want a woman with baggage when there are plenty around that age who don't.

I'm 27. I hear what you're saying. IVe wanted to date her for years.

i'd say her interest in waning, recent divorce or not. I am currently dating a recently divorced woman (something I never thought I would find myself doing). She always makes plans to see me, cooks me food, rubs my back, sex on demand etc. Point being, there is extra baggage with divorce, but if she is interested she will NOT confuse you. Just like any other woman.

I've went thru so many bad dating experiences over the years..it was good to finally meet someone that was not totally incompatible. I suppose I got my hopes up.

Why did she get divorced? Divorce is common now so there should be no problems unless she has kids. She might be thinking of going back to her loser hubby, that's why she's giving you the cold shoulder. My advice is lay off and go ghost. Spin plates. I don't think it will end well for you if you get with her but that's my hunch.
