Cheryl Burke took the lessons from her failed marriage into her next relationship.
Following the collapse of her nearly three-year relationship with Matthew Lawrence and their messy divorce proceedings, the professional dancer has enough tips to give her next romance a fighting chance.
Instead of keeping it to herself, she uses social media to tell her followers about these tips, asking them to pay attention and implement them in their lives.
Cheryl Burke Won’t Enter A New Romance Without Loving Herself First
For anyone who has followed Burke long enough on social media, it’s no surprise to see him upload content dealing with his personal life and issues.
For her latest update, the “Dancing With the Stars” alum shared “5 things I will NEVER do (or do differently) in my next relationship” in a “Get Ready With Me” clip shared to Instagram recently .
Beginning with the explanation that he was trying to hold himself “accountable by telling you all five things I would do differently [SIC] in my next romantic relationship.” He later stated, “One, truly and wholeheartedly loves myself. I chose to be celibate because until I truly love myself, how can I love anyone else?”
For his next tip, the 39-year-old said he wants to “try new things,” which can be “as easy as trying a new restaurant together.” Third, she plans for her and her man to “maintain a meaningful and emotional relationship with each other.”
The need for a third point was born from the deterioration of the previous relationship after the “honeymoon phase began to wane, there was no meaning.” Burke explained further:
“I think some relationships get stuck in a peaceful coexistence…have been too many times. It is not very peaceful; it’s like giving up, living together, living with roommates.”
His fourth takeaway is to not be “afraid of conflict” because “there is no disagreement in a relationship,” adding, “It doesn’t have to be yelling or a shouting match. It’s healthy to have conflict. Five, I will continue to maintain external relationships with family [and] friends. Spend time with them, instead of dropping them all and being eaten.
She ended her speech by reminding the audience that “their family and friends are forever. Boyfriends come and go, even husbands.” Ever since the two-time Mirrorball champion asked for more clues on what to do [and avoid] in a relationship, fans quickly flooded the comment section with them.

While one reiterated his last point by writing, “I wish more people realized that friends and family should remain a priority,” the second suggested, “really listen to understand, not to defend yourself.”
Expressing their own opinion, a third netizen typed, “1. Honest and open. 2. Love with all your heart. 3. Tell the person how much they mean to you. Listen to them. Comfort. 4. Be there for them no matter what the situation. 5. Praise them.”
In June, Burke reiterated her stance on not rushing into any new romances during an appearance at the Race To Erase MS 30th Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles. At the time, he had said:
“I’m really dating myself. I know it sounds so, like, cliche, ‘OK whatever.’ No, but actually, I don’t see, I’m not interested at the moment.”

In addition to staying true to dating herself, the “I Can Do That” star has also managed to stay sober for over five years.
As she enters her sixth year of sobriety, Burke took to Instagram to release a celebratory selfie that showed off her naturally freckled face. He chose a long caption that read:
“It’s been 5 years since I started my recovery journey. As I entered my 6th year I realized I had found a new purpose that I never thought existed. The great thing about sobriety is that it’s not always a straight line of progress & like most things in life it comes with rough patches.”

As the message progresses, Burke notes that she has tried practicing “forgiveness & less judgment” about “my past actions, current feelings or addictions.” Concluding the post, he declared:
“Overall, I have a life and build a relationship with myself that I didn’t know existed before. And I owe it to God and my recovery,” he shared. “If you are thinking of entering this journey, I strongly suggest you see what it can do for you. Sending you all love. Thank you for being by my side for these 5 years.”
