Just Starting Over

I recently got divorced after ten years of marriage and have since started dating someone new. My ex and I decided it was best for both of us to move on, and now I'm exploring what it means to be single again at 35. With my current partner, we've been very cautious but open about our boundaries and comfort levels. We agreed that sex would only happen if we both felt ready and comfortable with each step. So far, it's been a mix of intimacy and vulnerability. It feels different from when I was younger or married; there’s this sense of rediscovery involved. Despite the uncertainties and the fact that it's all new territory for me, it's surprisingly liberating.
