"I can do better" syndrome

[Anonymous]

I have felt this dynamic at play somewhat since dating after divorce. I didn't divorce because I wanted to trade up. So it feels a bit weird dating, when something about the person seems like a trade up. Of course I know from being married that everyone has their faults once you know them long enough. I just wanted to be with someone who didn't, essentially, have a cheating kink and unresolved emotional issues that made rationalizing acting on that repeatedly possible.
