PCG, I think you should go for this one. That said, I would want you to do a few basic things to be on the safer side.
If you have any male friends whom you can trust, introduce them to him. Later ask them for an honest opinion. Guys have an uncanny ability to find a phony
When you are with him at a restaurant, observe how he behaves with waiters etc
Also please cold shoulder him for a couple of days. See his reaction. Does he let go too easily. Does he walk away too easily. I have seen guys who flee at the first sign of trouble.
Anyways keep us posted on how this goes. Wishing you all the best. I will have a biriyani and a peg to celebrate…
Also just check if he is on GS. You might never know. He might be reading your posts.
Also a simple word of advice if you dont mind. Add some fictitious details also so that even if he reads this, he would not know that it is he we are all talking about
Divorces don’t define people. It’s not really written on stone that whoever gets married will stay married until they die. People grow and learn from their mistakes. If he doesn’t trash talk about her and has told you how it went down, you should respect that and give him a chance.
Also girls can be HUGE meanies. So that isn’t something unheard of.
