Sober And Dating
The pros, cons, and potential pitfalls
I’ve been happily divorced now for seven years. That’s not a jab at my ex-wife; it’s the opposite. I’m grateful that we peacefully co-parent our two boys and do things as a modern family that I never imagined pre-divorce.
The above photo is not of my ex-wife but of my girlfriend. Oh…and it’s not my girlfriend but my “girl-friend.”
Allow me to explain…
That’s my BFF Lauren, who recently moved in with her girlfriend and romantic partner.
Not what you were expecting, right?
If you think that’s confusing, there was the time we went to New York City at Christmastime. It was me, my boys, Lauren with her girlfriend, and my ex-wife and her boyfriend. I was the only adult flying solo — and we had a blast.
Who knew?
Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones you never dreamed of.
Just after my divorce, I decided to enter the dating scene. I had no idea who or what I was looking for; it just felt like the necessary thing to do. Society says we need to be with someone, right?
