Dating Too Soon After Divorce
Is it too soon to feel semi-serious with a guy after dating for 8 months?
I am 37 years old and new to the dating scene again after 15 years of marriage. (separated from my ex-husband for 2 yrs and divorced for 11 months now.) I have met a really great guy that I have been dating exclusively for the past 8 months. I have met other guys for dinner, talked with some online and over the phone but no one made quite the connection that this one guy and I did. My family, however, is very opinionated about me dating him. They say that I spend too much time with him and that I don’t appear to be showing any interest in meeting anyone else. I don’t think that I spend an enormous amount of time with him because of both of our schedules (work, night school classes, children). They have me second guessing my actions & worrying that I am moving too fast with this guy. I guess my question is, what is the typical pace & milestones of a healthy new relationship? We go out on dates twice a week, sometimes 3 & only became intimate recently.
Doesn’t sound too fast to me. It sounds like your family is just concerned for your welfare, divorce can make any family paranoid and they just don’t want you to get hurt again.
