Did you have a lot of "hookups" post divorce?

Not really interested in anything long term, but enjoy "company"?  LOL

Re: Did you have a lot of "hookups" post divorce?

  • Yes, my high school BF and I reconnected and had a FWB scenario for about 3 months.....then I started dating someone and I enjoyed having sex with him more than actually him....in hindsight, I really wasn't ready to have a BF yet. But, he helped me heal tremendously and he is a great guy.
  • No.

    But I've never been a "hookup" kind of person either.

  • I'm not divorced yet, but since we've been separated (agreed we can date other people), I've been like a dude magnet. So, yes, a few ;-) 
  • No, although, I did have a FWB that didn't turn out well at all. I won't ever do that again.

  • I have promised myself that I will not date or hook up with anyone until my divorce is final. However there is one guy that I can not wait to 'hook up' with. He has a lot of fwb potential. He knows about my promise to myself and i think that is making things so much more exciting. I think I have plans for the evening my divorce is final....whenever that may be!!
  • I definitely had fun after my divorce. It wasn't ridiculous, unsafe or unhealthy. I got it out of my system and moved on. I don't regret it but it isn't something I feel the need to do on a regular basis.

  • Sort of.  It was kind of a phase I went through but I'm definitely "over it" now.  It was usually if not always alcohol induced.  I didn't sleep with anyone I wasn't committed to (save ONE person) but I kissed a lot of people.  I am not necessarily proud of that time but I think it was just part of my process.

  • Nope. I made out with a few guys...had a one night stand because I think I just had to get that out of my system...but other than that? No. I actually became alot more prudish about sx than before I was married. I guess because when I was younger, in what I like to refer to as my "sluttier days" I maybe hooked up with guys much sooner because I thought that's what they wanted and wanted them to like me. Now, I really don't care and am more cautious about protecting myself (physically and emotoinally) and sx means more to me than it used to.

  • No...there was one guy I started "hanging out/hooking up" with after my separation...but we are still together almost 4 years later. It wasn't supposed to happen, but it did.
  • I went through a stage in which I slept with everyone that I'd found attractive while I was married. One ended up being a pretty nice relationship, I found it helped build up my self esteem again after my marriage decimated it. All of them helped me realize that not all men are the same, since I'd grown to suspect that all men are useless scum.
