I was with my ex for 6 years and we have 2 kids together. Our relationship wasn’t so great, it went down hill before I even had our almost 3 year old and with both our kids I was left being the responsible parent whilst he didn’t change. So the relationship to both of us was over basically from the get go except it was our security, we were both too comfortable to leave. I finally took a leap and ended things/kicked him out just over 3 months ago. I’ve met a guy who has pretty much gone through the same rough relationship, so we both know what we want in a partner and what we won’t put up with. He seems to be the kind of guy I was hoping my ex would magically turn into, and he tells me I’m just what he’s looking for too. He wants to go to the next step but I’m worried about what everyone else might think/say/react. I don’t want to lose him because I’m too worried about judgements, but I don’t know if it’s too soon. So I guess my question is has anyone else been through this and had it actually work out or am I jumping too soon? When is too soon to move on.
