Is this a rebound?

[freshstart]

I have known for a long time in my heart that my marraige was over. I lost all interestin my wife after she started drinking very heavily and partying all the time when i was slogging my guts out trying to keep our heads above water. I begged her timean time againto calm it down as we have a young child but the warnings were never listened to and i eventually stopped loving her as a wife but still care deeply for her as we have been through and shared alot. A month ago i was out and met a lady from work who i have spoken to on many an occasion and we ended up dancing and kissing, since then we have being seeing each other allthough have not slept together because we want to "know" befor we do. Here comes the tricky bit, we were both in long term relationships and neither of us were happy. We have both now seperated from our previous partners allthough I am in the slow financial process of moving out but will 100% go. We have been told by so many people that this is a rebound relationship or that we are using each other as crutches to get out of unsatisfying relationships. I do not believe this to be the case I have felt this way before, I know where I am heading with her. I am falling in love with her. I am just scared that it won't work. Has anyone left a ltr for someone else and it all worked out? Or are we doomed from the start? Thanks

Who knows yet? It could be. Maybe not, if you've known that your marriage was over for a long time.

 

I had a relationship right after my marriage ended. It wasn't a rebound. It didn't last though. It served it's purpose to heal, and then ended.

 

Just do the right thing and move out before you date this woman.

 

You might not be thinking as clear as you will be in a year. My attorney told me not to make any big decisions for a year...date, have fun, but wait a while to see where it all goes....
