Ok- I am going to summarize this the best I can as to make it shorter vs. longer! I was married for 1.5 years... we were terrible for each other.. he was angry, belittled me, jealous, frequently lied, insecure, etc... I got divorced last summer.... in the late fall I went on match.com- after a friend convinced me! I went out with a few people and was disappointed.... then in

Dating a not yet or newly divorced man is a great way to end up hurt.

Thanks for the advice- interestingly enough- we had a long discussion last night about this whole situation... he said he is worried that I might want someone who can spend more time with me- and considering his work schedule, life, etc... is worried that I'd want more than he can give... so I guess thats my answer! I really don't want every second of someones life... I am recently (not as recently as him) divorced as well... so I am also speding lots of time with family and friends and relatiohships that I neglected over the past few years... he said he would still like to get to know me and spend time with me... but worries I'll want something really serious. I don't know what that all means... but I think that my gut is talking to me and the red flags are now flying.. it still stinks because he is really an awesome person. Such is life I guess!!

I guess what it means is he is not ready or does not want a serious relationship.
