Online dating profile...already??

I have only been separated for about 6 weeks. 

 

Just had a friend tell me that husband has an online dating profile on Plenty Of Fish.

 

Really?? Already??

Don't know WHAT to think- he told me that he is alllll about working on himself and making himself a better person for DD, but obviously not if he is already online looking for someone else!!

  • That has to sting and I'm sorry to hear that. But really you have to realize what he does is no longer any of your concern and ask your friends not to tell you these things anymore as it's really counter-productive. And finally him looking for someone new doesn't really impact his relationship with your DD. Now if he's bringing lots of women around her that's one thing, but try to keep focused on what is really hurting you here and work through those feelings. 
  • He's probably just trying to "stop the bleeding" and get some physical comfort......I know, it sucks and it doesn't really feel like he's dignifying what you two had, but......tell yourself this "there is a reason why I'm not with him anymore...."

    Hugs!

    Hey, at least your H wasn't doing this while you were married (like mine, but on Craigslist---very klassy!)

    All of this.  He's taking an easy way around actually healing by trying to jump into another relationship rather than working on himself.  Thing is, it has nothing to do with you.  Please don't follow his lead.  Take the time you need to heal so you can be in a healthy relationship down the road AND so your DD has a good example in her life. ((hugs))

  • Ditto what everyone else has said. I know it sucks, but at least you aren't the one that is still stuck with him. Hugs!!

    If it helps, my STBXH was dating the girl he had an affair with less than a month after we separated,. And this was AFTER he had told me he wanted to take time and work on himself before he started dating.
  • Call me horrible, but I had one up about a week after DH & I finally split.  Then again, I was checked out on the relationship for months and was just waiting out the holidays. 

    He is on the rebound and looking for some fun, I doubt he is looking for anything serious. But I do understand that it hurts.

    Change one week to 4 weeks, and this is pretty much me. I was checked out long beforehand too. 

    What he does is really none of your concern as long as he is not directly affecting your DD. You worrying about what he's doing is not going to help you in your process of moving forward. Like a PP suggested, I think you should ask your friends to refrain from giving you updates on what he's doing.
