Hi all,
So as the title suggests I'm experiencing new feelings and I just need a bit of perspective from you wise ladies (and gents!)
Me and ex split up last year, the marriage had died 2 years previous to that but I think we we're trying to stay together for the kids, but it was better in the end for us to end things and the kids are both happy and have a good relationship with us both. The divorce is nearly finalised and we have agreed on a settlement it's just a case of everything being finalised.
I've moved into my own place with my kids, Work is really good and we are all settled. I've had time to be single and process things, and I've managed to figure out what I really want from a partner and rediscover myself.
So I've been on a just a few dates recently to get myself back out there, I didn't feel any connection but it was nice to know that I was still a desirable woman! So the latest man I've been on a few dates with, I'd say about 5/6 and it's going really well.
I'm starting to get these feelings about him, as in I can't eat, sleep or concentrate because he's just on my mind all the time! Even thinking about him makes me smile so much! I'm in no rush for anything but is it strange that I'm scared about these feelings? I don't feel like things are going to go wrong, I think it's more that I wasn't sure if I was ever able to have a connection again with another person, this connection I feel with this man is nothing like I've ever felt before and it's exciting, but I don't want to get ahead of myself... I'm just wanting to hear of other peoples experiences of moving on after a divorce/long term relationship.
Any replies appreciated!
