Thank You Summer. I have know this man for over 4 years. He knew both me and my ex. I never really thought that I would ever actually date...it just happened. He had called one night to talk to my ex and I told him about us splitting. He has been very kind to me. he never expected anything more than friendship from me. I have to admit I like dating. Maybe I'm weird but I like having that feeling in the pit of my stomach when I am going to see him, not that sick feeling of HAVING to see him ( lol)
Every one handles it different I guess. A friend of mine will be divorced for 3 years now ad she still "morns" her marriage.
I'm happy with the new relationship, but the hurt from my marriage still haunts me from time to time.

Everyone seems to be light years ahead of me in their attitudes. I will never again put myself in a position to be hurt. I'll never even go out for coffee with another man. Wow! Writing this makes me see how guarded I am. I guess I need to soften up. I just don't want to go through this again.
