writes:In early 2007 my ex wife said she wanted space, and then ended up filing for divorce. 2007 was a bad year and I still carry round the emotional scars.I wasn't convinced that I'd fall in love, or want to let myself fall in love, again. But I did. I've been seeing someone for nearly 8 months (she had split from her ex bf and has a young daughter as do I) and its good. We saw each other as much as both our domestic situations would allow (couple of weekends together a month) and talked a lot about everything and nothing.Then three weeks ago she tells me she needs space to sort her head out .... and it all seemed so familiar....I at least saw it coming when I was married, but I didn't see this ... we never argued or anything ...She used to say she loved me, and now all I get is a I don't know ... She says she'll talk about whatever it is when she's ready, but there's a real awkwardness between us that I can't seem to get around.I don't want to lose her, but I'm having real problems keeping my own feelings in check and don't know where to turn.Help.
