Post Body

I’m 38 and almost divorced from my husband, who I have been with since I was 22. Other than (very) casual situations before him, he was my first boyfriend.

I now feel so awkward interacting with men. There’s a handsome guy at my gym who I can tell is vibing me and will come work out near me, and I can see him in my peripheral trying to catch my glance to chat, and I literally clam up, can’t help but avoid eye contact at all costs, and probably couldn’t come off as more unapproachable without putting a sign on my forehead.

Does anyone else feel this way after a long relationship? Will it pass? Any advice??
