ok so, this has happened unexpectedly. I got out of an EA relationship in December. (We know how difficult that is) after 4 years on/off. Horrible but I took positive steps following it, took up a hobby and this hobby brought me to meeting the new man. Prior to the relationship which finished in are December I was married for 13 years. So all steps to moving on.
I wasn't looking and was just getting to a good place, content in myself and building up confidence.
So, the new man has lots of potential. He is considerate and hasn't gone wrong so far. We live 3.5 hours apart and have both made the journey. We have now met 5 times since May. Also messaged and spoken in the phone.
It gets tricky. He is newly separated. I'm worried he is in the right place whereas I'm now heading towards the place where I feel ready to commit. Do I go with it ? It's difficult with the distance. Or do I not go there? I like him and I think if we were close distance wise it would have developed, but perhaps due to his situation its a good thing? He said his situation slows us down enough to be sensible and think through things. Me late 30s, him early 40's.... What would you do?
