Here, we discuss the various effects I've seen on clients of growing up with a single parent!

Some readers ask, if it seems like a lot of work and bother to date after divorce, does this mean I am avoidant attachment and unhealthy? No, it means that you are happy single. If you truly feel like a relationship is more trouble than it's worth, do not date or try to remarry. Here's who usually feels this way, why, and why it's okay to admit it. Also, halfway through the episode, we turn to women who are ambivalent about dating after divorce, and how this impacts how their kids end up feeling about the new partners they introduce them to!

The honeymoon stage doesn't last for anyone, even happy couples. (Neither does youth or any other life stage.) So, what does the post-honeymoon stage, usually starting around year 3 of marriage, look like for couples that DON'T hate each other?

Here's what to aim for and what individual-level and couple-level variables make ongoing happiness (not every day, but overall) more likely.
