Hi all!

Many weeks ago, lots of you amazing people helped me to see that I needed to leave my emotionally abusive, man-child of a partner, so that happened and I feel amazing!
Since then I've grown very close with an existing... acquaintance? I've developed serious feelings for him, and he for me. Everything is fantastic, and I'm having a great time with him. My worry is that he is a slightly um 'bigger guy' than I am usually attracted to.
We've cuddled...a lot and I feel super awkward about where to put my hands! I'm attracted to him (you know, sexually Blush ) , but at the same time his weight puts me off?
Just wondering what everyone thinks, you were all so amazing when I last need advice!

I see what you mean op. My dh was quite a big bloke when we met (even bigger now but still fine by me!)
Just gave me more to love tbh!! Has had an impact on positions as you would expect! Blush
But hugging was just, well cuddle as normal!!
Glad you have bagged a nice guy!! It's quite a lovely feeling isn't it?!

I’m suggesting caution but mainly because after an abusive relationship it is easy to fall for anyone who is kind to you.

@Pierce Thank you for you words of caution, I am taking it slow with him just in case this is a rebound thing. I completely understand that his kindness is very attractive to me right now, but we have so much in common and we share a sense of humour!

@April Yes!Honestly he's an amazing guy, but my ex (the only person I've been intimate with) was a clean- eating gym freak and the idea of being intimate with a bigger guy just feels odd I guess. Did you feel the same way at the beginning of your relationship?

Change can happen but going into a relationship wanting someone to change doesn't sound like a great idea to me...

My dh is ten years younger, a bit younger than usual also!! I look on it as a whole new start! And it was. Married with a toddler now!
