It is amazing what we can get used to and tolerate for the sake of our kids and our marriage vows.
Not that my ex was horrible - he wasn't, and I do have some good memories of certain times in our marriage. But almost every man I have dated since my divorce has made me feel more APPRECIATED than my ex did through much of our marriage. His OCD perfectionism spilled over onto how he viewed me, and even though I know he DID love me at least in certain parts of our marriage, his inability to be satisfied with how things were in his life (all aspects, even though he had a great life) also extended into our relationship.
I'm so glad you have met someone who seems to be kind and shares a similar lifestyle to you. Just take it easy and keep enjoying it.
