Head over heels.....for my new guy

[drtouble]

Who knew that there was something out there way better than the relationship with my xh? I wish I had gotten out sooner....

We've been dating since June and with every passing week I get more and more attached to him. This past weekend he took me to meet some of his friends. He was worried about how I'd fit in....I really not sure why. But we got along beautifully. I was sad to see him go to work this morning as I know it will probably be a few days before I see him again. We are both busy during the week. We do talk everyday.

We have so much in common and have fun just hanging out together. He treats my kids well and its fun to see the interaction that they have with him. This relationship is night and day difference to what I had with my ex. I keep waiting for something to go wrong.....as things are just going too well.

Its just nice to finally be in a healthy relationship. I'm a little scared though as to how quickly I've grown attached to him. I'm sure most of it has to do with the fact that my marriage ended in divorce. Guess I should just enjoy the happiness......

I'd be worried about this too. How long have you been divorced?

Divorce was final in June but marriage was really over since 2007. I felt trapped in my marriage and hated going home at night. It just took me a really long time to have the courage to finally file. The day I filed I felt a tremendous amount of relief. That was when I knew it was the right decision for me. I can honestly say that the day I filed was really the start of a new beginning for me. This is the happiest I've been in a long time. My family has noticed a huge change in my attitude and my outlook on life.

I'm guessing it took a long time for the divorce to be final? When did you separate?

The fact that he was worried how you would fit in with his friends, worries me. As does the fact that you already introduced him to your children.

That caught my eye too. What's up with that? Was he afraid they wouldn't like you or you wouldn't like them?

This was a flag for me to. I mean is it something easy like they are huge video game nerds and you know nothing about gaming so he was worried you wouldn't have common ground? Or is something broader like personalities in general? Also I find it odd he's met and interacting with your kids already and you JUST met his friends.

what does the term head over heels even mean... isn't our head always over our heels?

All of this but especially the bolded. You can't be dating longer than 3 months and possibly less than.
