I had invaluable help from mn people last year to get out of an unhealthy relationship. I'm immensely grateful for the support and advice I received. Anyway, I've just started seeing someone- its been 2 weeks- and I'm unsure of it.
I suppose I doubt my own judgement and low self esteem of course doesn't help. I'm hhaving cbt counselling and that's excellent.
I started seeing a woman 13 years younger than me(I'm 46 and gay). She's a friend of a friend so I know she's not dodgy. The problem is, and I feel really stupid hence waffling, that I really like the attention and excitement but its making me v anxious. I worry I'm giving more- affection, time, energy. Sex is odd, she has issues. She's had a really awful year of bereavement and job loss. She's sad. But, she's intelligent and good company.
This sounds silly, and I'm not expressing myself well. Just feels hard already. And I'd value the thoughts of mn people who may be able to see this more clearly than I can. I know this is piddling compared to most problems here, but I'd still appreciate objective views
