I’ve met a very lovely man. I’m going through a divorce and was planning on staying single for the foreseeable but this man turned up in my life unexpectedly. He’s really nice - clever, funny, kind and amazing in bed.
But I can’t help this nagging feeling that he’s only seeing me until someone better comes along. His long term partner left him over a year ago and he’s not been with anyone since then, mostly due to lockdown I think. He keeps saying things like ‘I just love waking up next to a woman’, ‘I forgot how nice it is to have someone to chat to when watching tv’ or ‘It’s so great to just hold someone’s hand walking along’. To me that just sounds like he’s been massively lonely and I could be absolutely anyone. I haven’t mentioned it at all yet.
Would this ring alarm bells for you? I really like him despite my better judgement but I just can’t cope with being tossed aside when someone better comes along. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid or if I should listen to the little voice in my head telling me that he doesn’t like me as such, just likes being with someone.
