Dazed and confused

Have been in touch with my ex via email. It feels quite good but I’m a bit amazed about his choices in life.

He just wrote to me the other day that he’s dating a second woman since his 19 year-old love of his life left him. The first he broke off the week after he and I had coffee, she was needy and wanted a relationship, he thought it was too early. So he cut it off.

This second one is 40 and has a 16 year-old child. More his kind of thing, I’d guess. At least better than a 19 year-old. But still – isn’t he moving a bit fast? Although I must say I’d probably be getting involved with people left, right and center myself if I were him, being a sucker for physical affection and affirmation. Or maybe I’ve learned something from my past, I don’t know.

Anyway, it’s kind of weird talking to him about his girlfriends but for his son’s sake I’d much rather see him with a 40 year-old who also has a kid than a 19 year-old who’s barely left school. He needs to be supported and close to someone more on his level, I think.
