Since I left exp, from being really tough life has got better, we are settled in new home, I have just started job, all going well. Thing is I've met a bloke, who seems keen on me but I'm unsure about the situation, not sure if this is because of how exp behaved (controlling, unfaithful, aggressive) or whether I just don't like this new bloke enough. When I'm with him I enjoy the time but I can see things in him I don't like too - penny pinching, dull, bald (apologies to any baldophiles, but I am not one) - am I just looking for reasons to put myself off though? cos against all that he's caring kind and affectionate, all of which my exp was not. We've been texting emailing since about Sept and meeting for about a month, he wants to get physical and although I do find him attractive in a way I'm really scared of getting in too deep and getting hurt again. He's still on the dating web we met on, though doesn't view often. But still. Although my exp treated us badly because he couldn't handle family life I was once very much in love with him and I have started to dream about him - literally dream I mean, not daydream, in my wakign life I know that's all past. Shall I give this new bloke a chance? I quite like being single and I think I'd have to be overwhelmed by someone amazing to change now. Part of me thinks I should grit my teeth and talk to him about this (it seems to have got more difficult to talk about feelings etc the more it goes on, lots of weather conversations) and part of me thinks just leave it. Anyone else struggled with accepting a new partner, adn how did you deal with it? I honestly didn't expect to be so screwed up, was so easy young and child free!
