I just started seeing a man who has fairly recently separated from his wife (his earlier infidelity, all over now). I really really like and fancy him and we're falling in love. But I can't help fearing the practicalities of a life together. He gives me no reason for this, is very positive, faithful and kind to me. She chucked him out after discovering an affair a year ago , now they're divorcing and he is deeply sorry for doing it. The OW went back to her husband. He has explained and I understand the underlying reasons, though of course both know there was no excuse. This is the first time I have ever seen anyone who's been married. And he has two children, 7 and 3. I have no children and am 33. Am I kidding myself this could be a good move? Should I look for someone else in the hope we could do it all fresh first time round? or should I trust in the very real and rare feeling of love and that the hard work will be rewarded?
