How do u know if ur ready to be in a relationship?
I was w my ex for 10 years. (I'm 27) he broke up w me march 2023 and I moved out of state Sept 2023 and got very close w someone. He is very devoted to me , has shown me love and care in every way. He has done si much for me and our sexual chemistry is out of this world unreal life-changing magical. He really wants to be in a committed relationship. Part of me wants to. I know we could be good together. Other part of me is still attached to my ex and hard for me to not compare to that relationship. Which was very special to me. No hate there.
I can't tell if I'm actually "not ready" or just really fearful of finally putting that past relationship away and trying something new. I know this person is good for me and part of me also thinks if I don't jump in , I will be in fear and doubt and attached to my ex forever. How do you know for sure?
This man has been beyond patient with me , I don't want to lose him but I don't want to lead him on…….. maybe it will even help me get over my ex more to just devote to a new relationship. Idk.
BTW this is technically my second relationship ever so idk I feel very new to the world tbh….
Tldr- struggling to move fwd after last relationship I can't tell if I'm being scared & holding myself back or actually not ready. Don't want to fuck up something good..
