I like Hannah's quote. “You basically have to decide how much bullshit you’re willing to put up with. Pay attention to your breaking point, and if it gets too stressful, walk away.” It doesn't hurt to try the relationship, but you do have to know when to walk away.

I personally will not date any man that hasnt been totally single for at least 6 months - not separated, not newly divorced, totally and utterly single and widowers ? Forget about it ! Been there and done that twice and not looking for the famous third strike. I actually like it when a man is friendly with his ex wife or girlfriend - as long as it isnt too friendly - lol - but chances are if the women in his past are all bitches and this and that then it makes me wonder how I am going to be referred to six months down the road. As for widowers it is tough enough to contend with an ex (since I refuse to "compete" I wont use that word) but it is impossible to contend with a ghost. I met a nice man within the last year that told me up front that his marriage had been far from perfect so I thought ok well thats good he doesnt have her on a pedestal at least - but it was worse - he felt GUILTY for her not being happy towards the last few years of their marriage before she got sick and eventually passed away so hell I couldn't win for losing with him. He knew she was no saint but it was like he still wanted to make her one so adios to that one

Well, I had a ex-boyfriend who broke up from his boyfriend for 9 months and from my experience months can't exactly show whether he is over his ex or not. The most important is to notice his act and his body language. I found out his ex-gf photos galleries in his computer and found out he still contact her and care for her deeply and I was glad now that my gut tell me to over it.
