A joke but seriously could it be???

I read this like holy shit, it’s her! It was like I was reading about what happened in my marriage from my wife:

(Love how no physical cheating was mentioned and she’s literally emotionally cheating on him as she types this)

So, I am a F32 and I am currently trying to sell my house that I reside with my ex husband M33 and our 3 kids so I can finally be on my own. I have no outside help or temporary places to stay till then. For context, he was controlling, emotionally abusive, and narcissistic. He cheated on me 5x emotionally over the last 3 years and I've been in therapy for 3 years as well. I do love him, but I have been staying due to hard times financially over the years. I went back to school and graduate this year so I can support my kids and I independently. Anyways, ex sleeps on the couch for months now and I sleep in the bedroom. He has tried being intimate and I am not about it. Ive been emotionally checked out since he cheated the first time. Just over the last 6 months, divorce and separation have been set.

On to present day, I met someone by accident....we've been talking for a couple months and been in a few dates and he is so sweet and genuine. Everyone keeps telling me I'm not ready and not date anyone. Which I do agree in a sense. But I really really really like this guy and don't want to just cut him off and let my ex ruin another thing in my life that's good for me.

Is this wrong? Should I not give this amazing guy a chance just cause of the "too soon" cliche? Btw, the guy is 38 and also isn't fully divorced but been separated from their spouse for 2 years. He is so patient and understanding and weve both been 100% transparent in both of our situations.
