I've been divorced for two and half years, from a 17 year old marriage. We had two beautiful children together, so for their sake we stay connected and for the most part civil. However, he left me a former stay home with a new bachelor's degree and no work experience to support myself and two children without any help form him. I have to live with my parents and went back to school to get a more marketable occupation. I have no doubt about not being married to him anymore, but the way he just discarded me really hurt.
I hate feeling so hurt and angry and want so badly to get over it, everytime I get close to acceptance some other financial downfall reminds me of it all over again.
I started dating this guy I met online, and was a bit ambivelant about it even though he was the first man I dated more than once. After a couple dates and a weekend together I find myself more attracted to him, he however has started avoiding me. We have both brought up our ex's in conversations and the current relationships we have with them. He spent the night Thursday night and left me a txt about how much he enjoyed it, but since then he hasn't returned any of my txts or a phone messages I left. My instinct is to just write off the relationship as another bad dating experience. I am just so curious as to what turned him off so abruptly. Is it my baggage and what can I do to get over the way I was treated by my ex?
