Divorced? How To Overcome Fear And Distrust Of The Opposite Sex

Divorce is painful. It leaves an emotional scar that for some never heals. Fear of repeating a painful memory keeps many from ever marrying again. Permanent distrust of the opposite sex prevents many men and women from even establishing an emotionally intimate relationship that could lead to marriage, because they fear getting hurt again. As long as the pain of the last relationship influences your present decisions, the person you are no longer with is still controlling your life. You are still with them, even though the relationship has ended, and you are allowing someone from your past to interfere with your future. Avoiding pain also means avoiding pleasure, joy, fulfillment, and satisfaction. It is like never leaving the gravesite of a deceased loved one. Your entire life is now defined by the grief of your loss, and you can't stop grieving and start living again. How do you break free from  the pain of a broken past relationship and trust someone enough to try love and marriage again
