Ive recently divorced my husband and when not even looking ran into (twice in one day) the most wonderful man Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting. Weve been seeing eachother for almost a month and can't stay away from oneanother. He calls me early in the morning to tell me I'm beautiful. He said Im everything he's ever wanted all in one cute little package. Hes ambitious, successful, caring, a friend and a lover. HE MAKES ME LAUGH AND SEE THE WORLD IN BEAUTIFUL SHADES OF PINK!!! So why wont I let myself trust him? Why wont I let myself be happy??? I want to find something wrong with him because I feel it must be too good to be true. I want to tell him about my fears but I dont want to seem damaged or emotionnally unstable. I dont want to be a burden on him. But I dont want him to leave. He makes plans for us way into the future my rational side says relax let it be. My irrational side says he'll hurt you dont worry. I want to open up to him. Do I take the chance? I cant handel another fall right now Im just beginning to pick myself up.

Sounds perfectly rational to me that you're hanging back - you've just met the guy! I would be more worried if you just told us you were madly in love and gonna marry him. Sounds like maybe things are moving a bit too fast and it's scaring you a bit. Maybe just tell him to slow down a bit, that there's no need for urgency, you're not going anywhere, and see what happens! But seriously, I think what you're feeling is normal. You're protecting yourself. And honesty is key in relationships, so when you're comfortable, tell him what's on your mind!

I have often heard it said that a newly divorce person (man or woman) needs at least 1 year to find them self..... so take it slow and let friendship rain above all else, and then in time if you are able to love and trust again.... then it will happen naturally.
