Ah I goofed up my html, sorry. Let me try that again.. .

Now, my struggle is not making the same mistakes in this relationship because I've acted, felt, been a certain way for the past four years and it certainly is a challenge. . . .
Does anyone have any advice for what to do when starting a new relationship after a divorce? A lot of people have told me it's "too soon" but I feel comfortable with it and I am taking it slowly. . . .
I find myself always assuming things that are not necessarily the case, based on what I anticipated my ex-husband intended in the past. I think that's the hardest part, because there are things we don't yet know about each other, which is exciting but also scary because one doesn't always know how the other is going to react. We've had great success with being open and always communicating with one another, which I appreciate so much, but sometimes there's a misstep and I get worried that I'm going to "ruin" something. . . .
I know a lot of "experts" say that if you are comparing your new relationship to your old one, you're probably not ready. Obviously everyone is going to make the comparison, but, anyway, I just wanted to share.
