Cherry. Getting on with a few bumps

[Cherry]

So it’s been a fair while since i posted on here.
My wh is nearly divorced from me, we’re in the final stage of what has been a very long process- which shouldn’t have been as i haven’t contested anything.
I’ve spent the last few months really soul searching and getting to know me again. My confidence has increased a little, although I’ve still a long way to go.
I happened to meet someone that i have really clicked with. Obviously it’s early days and we’ve not even been on a date yet. Obviously I’m beyond nervous, and in my head I’m still feeling as if I’m doing something wrong and that I’d be cheated on my stbxh. This feeling was not helped by him figuring out i was talking to someone (think he read my texts). He got angry really fast demanding to know who it is. I told him that that was none of his business, to which he started using the kids as some excuse saying about how if someone is involved with me then they will be involved with the kids. He was demanding to know all sorts and when i refused to tell him he continued to get very angry.

This has of course affected my mood now where part of me thinks that i shouldn’t bother with a date as it’s just going to cause to much trouble. Just wondering if this is normal of an ex to behave this way
