Divorce does not always leave an obvious emotional scar. Some people cry often, talk about what happened, or openly admit that they are struggling. Others seem perfectly fine. They return to work, spend time with friends, travel, or even start dating again. Yet beneath that normal-looking routine, they may still be carrying the emotional effects of a painful marriage ...more
Dating a widow can introduce a different emotional dimension to a relationship.
