What are the things which to keep in mind as we navigate the passage back to couplehood.

Take a moment to check in with yourself to make sure you're making a decision that feels right for you, rather than one that pleases your new partner. Giving away the things that are central to your beliefs is not a positive way to start over again!

Get creative about finding opportunities to spend time together. So your weekends are out of sync - any night can be a date night! And one or two hours of found time beats holding off for the perfect situation and feeling resentful as a result.

Avoid at all costs taking on a counselor role in the residual parts of their former relationship. You went through your own stuff and you don't need to go through theirs as well. Be understanding but don't become engaged in it.

Prioritize - Recognize that any relationship requires compromise, so make sure you are prioritizing the parts of your life that are off limits, like time with your kids, and look for areas that truly can flex .

if phone calls when you have your kids or with friends feels intrusive, be honest about it rather than trying to juggle it and feel badly.

Get some sleep! The fastest way to tear down your physical, mental and emotional state is to be reckless with your sleep habits. Remember when you were a new Mom? Find other times to give a nap priority if your regular 10:00 bedtime has more inviting options for a while. A good perspective on life always requires adequate rest.

Take your time. Despite the rush of feelings and enthusiasm for having a social life again, you want to remain aware of the personal progress you have made and maintain that. It was earned the hard way, and is critical to making you who you are NOW.

Don't forget about your friends. They were there for you while you healed and needed companionship. They deserve to see some of the rewards of their commitment to you and you don't know if you'll need them again. Or they, you.
