How long should you stay single after leaving a emotionally abusive marriage?

[Edit]
This is a question that only you can answer. The hurt can stay with a person for a long time. One you have got over the hurt then you may wish to get into another relationship. I would suggest that your courtship last long enough for you to get to know the other person.
Ask around some of their friends, if their reply is negative then look for someone else. Eventually you will find the right person for you.

Answer

Stay single until you feel like yourself before the relationship and know yourself again. For me, it was when I could wake up on Saturday morning and ask myself what I wanted to do first--AND had an immediate answer! The information I read suggested 1 year single for every 4 married. I waited 5 years before dating and ten before marrying. I really have moved on from that relationship and have better insights now.
