This is tricky, please be open minded. I was in an emotionally abusive marriage, separated twice, but still hanging on. My husband and I were looking at new homes, while I was still being called names. We have 3 children, I was praying God would work it out…In March of last year, my husband chose our realtor and…well, God may have used this man to “work things out”. Simply, he was kind, had manners, treated me normal, and was attractive. He was also 100% professional, nothing else. Since then, we separated, divorced ( only SOLD the house, did not purchase together ). I never forgot this man and am grateful to him for opening my eyes and getting all of our lives on track. A year has passed, and my ex-husband last Feb hired this same man to help him build his new home. My husband WAS aware I had “feelings” for this man but all of that is too long…I was surprised he hired him but he could easily have alterior motives for doing so, not sure. My question is, over a year has gone by and I’d still like to go out with him. He appears to be single, from his FB. I’m not interested in “friending” him, it’s not real and I’d like all contact if any with him to be genuine. Again, he was only professional towards both of us and I never see him. Is this appropriate now that my ex’s house has closed and they are finished doing business. Advice?? Thoughts??
