Never thought I'd make a post like this here but honestly no one knows who I am and I figured I might as well put myself out there.
We moved to West NY 3 years ago and it broke our marriage and there was no going back. I loved him a lot but between personal differences that kept raising and mental health lows for both of us it just felt right and we split with no fighting. I thought I would be hurt but honestly we both admitted that we felt relieved it was finally over. I moved back to California and started the divorce proceedings 6 months after establishing residency and serving papers because of the sheer ease of it here vs filling in New York.
But I thought I didn't want to date anyone anymore but being single as much as it made me happy, I was enjoying more of the outdoors spontaneously, reading more books and doing things that weren't in my normal repitoire like improv classes, which is where I couldn't help but latch onto this person I'm seeing now. We're both divorced which is helping as I haven't been able to communicate with my family who accused me of "giving up" after 12 years of dating and 10 years of those being married so I connected just as friend but it moved to romance after a month of just talking, small dates and getting to know each other.
Things are going extremely well, but I can't help but feel like I shouldn't be doing this and that it's "too soon", even though I haven't been with my ex for over a year and a half and only delayed my divorce because of cost. I also just like how much we have in common, that we have Mutual goals in terms of education and earning potential. It feels so right but so wrong to be doing this.
