Been separated from my STBEX for about 7 months and started the divorce process almost a year ago. Met a girl a few months ago who is also divorced with older kids. Having a lot of fun, hanging out on my weeks without kids. She is fun, positive and we are sexually compatible.

We’ve been honest with each other about what’s going on and our pasts. I’ve told her that I want to keep or relationship pretty casual, and she agreed. Physically she is not 100% “my type”, but she is a lot of fun.

I like her a lot, but I just got out of a 20+ year relationship/marriage. Not super comfortable jumping back into another relationship again. Also second guessing myself a little bit. Do I like her, or is it just the attention/affection that I haven’t gotten in so long? It also feels strange trying to meet other women while seeing her. Maybe I am still in that monogamous marriage mindset.

Anyone else felt like this? Anything help you get through it?
