In this show, I share three intimate stories of rebound relationships I experienced after each of my divorces. 

The first story is involves a fling because I wanted to feel wanted.  I wanted the excitement of hand picking and hunting down a man to escape the reality of my divorce and feel desired. So, I stalked my single hot "Eye Doctor"  on Facebook and flirted with him online.  Inevitably, after we had the sex I had lusted for, I became a bit attached to him and the relationship was short lived.  Since this experience, I have learned to let relationships evolve naturally on their own and I have stumbled a bit less since.

The second story is about a man who I was set up with by mutual friends.  "Funcle" was charasmatic, connected, and made me laugh.  What started as a fun night out at a bar evolved into an roller coaster of a relationship that lasted well over a year.  We had a blast together while I was on his arm at fun events and galas.  I've made wonderful friends through him.  He taught me accept complicated dynamics for what they are and to not try to pursue a relationship with someone who is not capable of loving me and my daughter the way that we deserve.

Lastly, I share insights into a more recent rebound relationship with an old friend of mine.  "Mr. Wonderful" is a tale of us reconnecting online and moving our longtime friendship into a romantic one during my separation. He was familiar, comfortable, and someone I inherently trusted.  He wined me and dined me and I absolutely adored him... However, I was picking up on red flags out of the gates.  He was lying consistently and I was taking note.  After I had granted months of graciousness hoping he would resolve some issues and make progress toward his own divorce, I broke things off.  My divorce finalized.  He is still married.
