ShriDevi: Hi, I got divorced from my husband eight years ago and have two children.
Now, I am in a relationship. Is it possible?
Dear ShriDevi, Yes, it is absolutely possible to be in a relationship again.
Having been divorced for eight years and raising two children, you have likely experienced personal growth, resilience and a deep understanding of what you want from a partner.
Love and companionship are not limited by past experiences and you deserve happiness just as much as anyone else.
What matters most is whether this new relationship brings you joy, respect and emotional support.
If you feel comfortable, secure and valued in it, then there's no reason to hold back because of your past.
However, since you have children, it's also important to consider how this relationship fits into their lives.
Take your time, ensure that the person you're with understands your responsibilities; communicate openly about your expectations.
Most importantly, don't let societal opinions or self-doubt make you feel that you don't deserve love again. You do.
If this relationship feels right, allow yourself to embrace it with confidence and happiness.
