Being the product of divorce can alter the way an individual deals with feelings when it comes to loving a person. The way they take on relationships is very different from people who have parents that are still together. They go into a relationship with caution and it takes longer for them to express certain feelings because they do not want to end up like their parents. Figuring out how to love someone who has been affected by divorce can be difficult but in the end it can be worth the wait.

1. Be honest with her!

Honesty is the only way that you will be able to gain trust with her. She has experienced lying first hand and the last thing she needs is you lying to her about something small. Always be open and honest with her when she asks you something.

2. Have patience when she doesn't express her feelings right away.

You more than likely will fall in love with her first; if this happens be patient with her because she may not have those same feelings just yet. She has seen love turn from a beautiful thing to something dangerous and you have to be able to understand that loving you is something scary for her.

3. Understand that her loving you is hard.

She watched her family fall apart right in front of her eyes and what you have to understand is that she vowed to never let love affect her like it affected her family. Her feelings for you may not come as fast as your feelings from her but they will grow in time.

4. She is not going to trust you at first.

Everything that you say to her is lip service, you are going to have to prove to her that you are different. Just saying that you aren't like everyone else isn't going to cut it, you are going to have to act on what you are telling her so that she starts to trust everything that you are saying.

5. Remind her that she is special.

Many people think that divorce only effects the two people that are getting a divorce. In reality the whole family is impacted and she may feel that she did something wrong. You have to remind her that what happened to her parents is not her fault and that she is special.

6. She will always have her guard up.

You could have been in a relationship with her for years and in the back of her mind she still thinks that this could end suddenly. She will never stop feeling that this can at some point all fall apart.

7. She is worth it.

Even though loving her is tough you have to remember why you fell in love with her in the first place. Remember that through everything she has been through she is worth it and she is special; also always make sure that she is reminded of that daily
