Am I too trusting?

I started seeing an older man a few months ago - he's separated from his wife of 30 yrs and has not seen her since April (she lives in another country) he's now decided to start divorce proceedings.

What concerns me is we spoke on the phone the other day (I could tell he'd had a drink) and he said he lived in a fantasy world, he said he didn't feel anything for his wife but he worried if me and him didn't work out if he would go back...So am I just a comfort blanket?? Does he really want to divorce her, can he really shut his feelings off for someone hes been with for 30 yrs?!

Am I being too trusting?

To be honest, it sounds a bit like you're the rebound :(

Was he really drunk, or just a bit tipsy? Has he mentioned it since?

He sounds like he shouldn't be touched with a bargepole unless you fancy a massive headfuck

He was tipsy..
He says he enjoys being with me when we spend time together at weekends, he's met my friends and told them he wants a future with me, but I'm a bit reserved...
