I met someone at work 4 months after I broke off my engagement and had sworn off men for life. I was 19.
We came from opposite sides of a major river separating 2 counties - and to make it worse, the opposing tribes had just had local government reorganisation forced upon them. So, no,the timing wasn't ideal.
He thought I was totally stupid studying the subject I was studying, and that anyone sensible would have studied his subject. He and a colleague insulted me terribly for 3 weeks all day every day for 3 weeks, until I fought back.
His tribe didn't trust people that lived in places where there was grass, trees and real cows. My tribe crossed the river to work, shop and go to John Lewis. If necessary some of them retired on the other side of the river, but further north in the rural part.
We both thought our families were normal........
His mother had agoraphobia, claustrophobia, was scared of drowning in the bath if she was in the house alone at the time....
My mother had either borderline or narcissistic personality disorder or both, or something so horrible it isn't in the classification yet. (Think one of the killers in the Messiah series on a good day was an estimation of her as a human being).
Next year, if we survive, having had the roughest 5 years imaginable, it will be
our 40th wedding anniversary 
Go for it - it will either work or it won't. You only find out when you try.
