Anonymous wrote:Are you divorced and/or is he? My experience as a divorcee is that dating is different now and people are more cautious. It’s a self defense mechanism. No matter who wanted the divorce and no matter how bad the divorce was needed it was still painful for the parties so people keep their hearts a little more protected.
If neither of you are divorced I’m not sure what his deal is. No harm to see where things lead.
People are more cautious and also more willing to just walk away if they can sense long-term issues coming down the road. (I've seen this in myself and in others I've dated). When a marriage with children and a house and so much else ends and you're still getting by, a dating relationship ending just isn't as big a deal.
