Oh, A, I'm happy for you. Happy that you have realized there are decent men out there, happy that you are out of the mindset that you will always be alone.
It is hard, isn't it, to try not to get too excited?
Here's the thing. Often times, the first person we are with are very different than our exes. That's natural. Been there, done that, right?
Not always, but, sometimes we really should be with someone somewhere in the middle.
You are way smarter now. You know what you don't want.
So, take this real slow. Become good friends. Be honest, open, your wonderful self.
Try not to get ahead of yourself so as not to risk getting hurt or hurting him.
Just enjoy this next part of your journey.
I'd love to see you not look at your xh's facebook. Who cares if he's bragging about the ow or what the heck he is doing? Not you, because you are busy living YOUR life, ya know?
Good on you, A, that you allowed yourself to let someone in.
