Well, we're not technically divorced yet as we're waiting for the 2yr no blame option. But, I ended my marriage 18 months ago and I've now met someone else. We've been together for 2 months but it feels like longer and things are going well. Except I'm feeling a bit freaked out by the whole concept of a relationship after having been married. For context, I ended the marriage because exh just couldn't provide the love and connection I needed (he's autistic which didn't help). I feel overwhelmed at the thought of integrating into someone else's friends and family, that I wouldn't be the person they built so much with and who those people know and love. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but I'm scared of feeling second best. Especially if the woman ended things. I also feel scared to open myself up to the possibility of something else. And how can it ever work with kids in the picture?!
I don't think these fears are specific to my current relationship, but more how I feel in general about the future. I guess I'm wondering how others navigated moving on after divorce?
