Recently divorced and seeing male hetro friend in new light basically . Coming out of emotionally abusive marriage and re-connecting with old friends , one of whom is really what I should have gone for all along 🙄 great communication, funny, witty , smart , empath. I've always liked him a lot - and found him attractive (classic nice looking guy) .
Is it a mirage though? Been seeing more of each other since split and just feeling elated every time like it's some sort of dream sequence - am I under some illusion because of stress and trauma ? Is being listened to and spoken to with respect all it is? He knows about everything I've been through and has been a great support which I don't want to lose so will of course keep quiet !!
No funny business just great conversations and losing hours over coffee . I've been off the market 15 years and wouldn't even know the signs of mutual attraction 😵💫 I would NEVER mention it to him btw .
Anyway question is - am
I seeing him in this light now because of divorce. Is this a thing ? Rebound 🙄 or is my situation bringing out a different side of said friend ? He thinks ex husband is an absolute F'ing idiot for having it all and throwing it away. Would appreciate any of your post divorce experience - many thanks xxx
