1 Stop trying to prove something to someone
One of the main advantages of “age” relationships is that you really build them for yourself and do not prove anything to anyone. You have already passed the race for the “ticks” in the columns of the main life achievements - from marriage, even civil, to a career and children, so you can just enjoy the life and company of the person who is now next to you.

2 Decide who you are looking for
If you are very worried and doubt your readiness for a new relationship, first answer a simple question for yourself: who do you need? A lover, a movie and restaurant buddy, an assistant who can fix anything in the house? Father for your future (or existing) children? Just a friend you can trust? Determine who you are ready to let into your life, and evaluate potential candidates already from this point of view.


3 Leave the Past in the Past
Former husbands, wives, children, mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law from previous marriages inevitably stand behind your backs, like the shadows of forgotten ancestors. You can be as brave as you want and tell yourself and each other that it all means nothing. But who among us, let's be honest, has never spoiled his mood by going to the page of his ex-wife or girlfriend of his man and having plenty of "admiring" their joint photos?
