Not sure I feel ‘it’...

I Separated from my ex earlier in the year and was genuinely heart broken. He treated me terribly though so it was definitely the right thing to do. Soon after I met someone else, timing wasn’t great but he was a welcome distraction I suppose.

Fast forward a few months...
We see each other a couple of times a week and he’s a great guy. He’s kind, considerate, good looking, has no baggage, we have good sex, he’s really into me...but I’m just not sure I feel the way I should.

With my ex it was exciting and I had butterflies and missed him when we weren’t together. I don’t really feel like that. Everyone I know loves the new guy, says we’re perfect together but I’m just not 100% sold. I don’t know if part of its because I’m not really over my ex.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

I am really not sure if anyone on the internet can tell you if you love him enough... but I do think that bad guys often give women more thrills than good guys... and for all the wrongs reasons. They give you more adrenaline.

Perhaps you needed more time to get over your ex who you treated you so badly before embarking on a new relationship.

I am going through a similar experience so I know what it’s like.

Maybe the question isn’t so much do you like the new guy enough? But more are you in a position to like anyone enough right now?

Having been treated so badly by your ex I’m sure you needed time to heal and prioritise what is right for YOU!

I wouldn’t continue the relationship further with the new guy if your hearts not in it. It’s certainly not your fault but nor is it his.

Perhaps it’s just the right time to prioritise yourself.

Best of luck OP X
