Is this real or should I run as fast as I can?

Hey guys. I’ve posted before about my divorce and the intellectual abuse that I had gone through with my ex husband and we’ve been divorced for 6 months now. I’ve started to put myself back out there again and right when I was about to give up and take a break, he found me. He’s so kind and compassionate toward me and nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. We’ve gone on a few dates over the past few weeks and whew 😅

He’s gone through a divorce in the same timeframe as I but the situation is flipped and it terrifies me. My ex cheated on me in the very beginning of our marriage and this man had done the same to his ex wife but stayed to fix things for 2 years just as I had with mine (my ex wouldn’t change). I am developing feelings for him but I also know that staying guarded for a little while is necessary for my emotional protection too. He seems genuine and he talks to me about how he felt then, his mistakes (in detail, I might add) and what he did to change but it just didn’t work out. He has two daughters that he wants to introduce to me and I couldn’t tell you how excited I was (I begged for kids for the past 3 years from my ex husband) so it fills a part of me, you know? I don’t stress over the fact that he had been in the position of my husband but it does make me more guarded than normal. He knows my concerns, but I just want to know if I can handle it before he introduces his kids to me.
