After 12 months of being LP, I have just starteddating a man I have known as a casual friend for about 25 years. We have been out several times over the past two months, and it is getting to the stsge where I am considering sleeping with him.
However, I have just found out that when we were younger, he dated my very best friend for a few months and they had quite an intense sexual relationship. I had no idea as I was abroad at the time. She has never mentioned it. No one knows we are seeing each other at the moment, as I disn't want people making a big deal about it until I was sure how I felt. It is my first relationship post-divorce.
Thing is, I am now feeling a bit weird about starting a sexual relationship with him, as I keep imagining him and my best friend in bed together, and imagine that she will be thinking about it too when she hears! It feels a bit icky (that's the only way I can explain it).
I am a bit upset about it, as I really like him, we get on fantastically, he is lovely, and so sexy. I haven't felt this happy and attractive in years.
Am I being too sensitive? What would you do?
