...Exploring New Beginnings After Divorce...

I recently went through a painful divorce after twenty years of marriage. My ex was controlling and it took me a long time to realize that I needed something different in my life... freedom, excitement. Last week, I met a younger colleague at an academic conference... he's thirty-five and we clicked instantly. We're both intellectuals with similar interests, but there's a spark between us... a chemistry that goes beyond the mind. We've been seeing each other since then, exploring this newfound attraction... He knows about my past and doesn't judge me for it... I'm happy with what I have now... but sometimes I wonder if others see me as too eager or if this is normal after such a long marriage... What do you think? Is there something wrong with starting over and finding happiness again?...
