About 3 years ago I found out my husband cheated on me, i was furious and we had a showdown and he promised not to again. I was terrifired of leaving so stayed. Less thank a year later, he was at it again. I took half hearted steps to move out but terrified and listened to his promises and stayed.
A few months ago i realised how unhappy i was and it was as if the marriage had stalled. My life had stalled and i was not moving on. I decided then that i hhad to go. Within months i'd moved out to my new place and love it now. I feel free, relieved and happy. TBH there weere other things wrong with the marriage.
The talking about moving out and actual moving out all happened at breakneck speed inside 6 six weeks. I intend to divorce and move on. I also went on a dating site as i was feeling so lonely. I met up with a man yesterday and we spent more than 6 hours together without a lul in conversation. He's single and knows my backstory. We really like each other and have a second date planned tomorrow. We really hit it off. He is the loveliest most genuine man i've met in a long time. We're very similar in outlook and ideas on life. He has such wonderful values and character and he's seen so much of the world and bit like a child in his awe of it. He lives life to the full. All fo this is very attrractive to me, and i do fancy him. He is very different to my husband. I stopped fancying my husband sometime ago and we hadnt had sex in 6 years or so. Btw, his cheating pre-dates our lack of sex life. clearly there's a lot of detail i'm not saying here about the marriage because for me it's over.
He is very clearly into me, saying how much he loved our date yesterday, spending time with me, and texting me quite early this morning and checking on what i wanted to do tomorrow. Although i am very into him, i don't want it to be a rebound relationship. Hurting him in the process. How will i know what it is? I really want to be with him now but not if that'll stop us from having a good shot at a good realtionship.
What can i do? How do i figure me out and how do i progress this? is this all too soon?
