I have been seeing someone for the past 2 weeks, and was in a up&Down, un-healthy relationship until we broke-up yesterday. I had been going back & Forth, trying to decided on whether to take a chance with this new man or sticking with the other. We were together for 2 yrs. and i just didn't know. This new man has made me more happy than i have been in so long, and we get along so well! The only thing is They are mutual friends. But, just like he says, why pass up something that may be "it" just because they are mutual friends? I honestly think he may be "the one', and he feels the same way. I feel terribly guilty about it all, but why sacrifice our happiness for one person who didn't treat me the way i should've been treated? We both had our faults in the whole relationship, but he's almost like a grown man (38 yrs. old) going on 25! I am moving in with this new man, and we are happier than ever, but i'm scared if this is too soon???

This is a little confusing! Who did you break up with yesterday? Were you already seeing the other person before breaking up?
General rule of thumb: Don't do anything serious for 3-6 months after a break-up. No matter whose decision it was, there are psycho-emotional issues to deal with. Do it the healthy way. On your own.

You need to chill out for a minute. What may seem like a possibly fleeting glimpse at happiness may be clouded by the negativity you endured for the last 2 years. While it's great to feel good about falling in love, you might want to take a moment to rediscover yourself before you move VERY QUICKLY from one long-term relationship to another.

Only you, yourself, will be able to answer this. When in doubt, don't do it until your absolutely sure it's okay. If you believe that he's different and a lot better for you, which that's what it sounds like considering you very happy with this man, then go ahead. There aren't a certain amount of time to get over something. Everyone goes at different rates. Life is full of decisions and this one of them that you have to decide on and no one else for you. I hope this helped ya, hun. :)

If it feels right then do it. You are both happy with each other and that is all that matters.
