Ok, I have in the past 4 weeks been asked out 3 times by a lovely new gentleman friend. We have been out for coffee once. And the thought of possibly starting a new relationship, is both tempting but at the same time making me feel like running!
My very brief history.....married for 16 years to my AH, 3 children and then 4 years ago we separated. We have managed to become friends, when he is sober he is welcome to visit me and spend time with our children. As friends we get along great and neither of us have ventured into another relationship, until now.
I feel silly saying this but the thought of it frightens me, I keep thinking, what can this nice man see in me? This man is the complete opposite of my ex, he's a successful professional, fully committed to what he believes in, generous, honest, kind and compassionate. On paper I would be mad not to be interested, why am I so nervous about it???
