Long story short I (20F) was seeing an older guy (M40 ) for over a year. I found out that he was still together, living and coparenting with his wife (which he said they were separated). Anyways, I ended that because it was wrong and I felt really bad once the truth came out. However, he made me feel great. I truly thought I knew what love really felt like especially coming from an older guy.

I guess I am just looking for the next steps. Should I take time to “heal” or just start talking to other guys and see where it goes? The entire relationship was a lie, obviously, so I don’t know to what extent I should go before moving on. I am interested in older guys and I’d like to meet some but I’m just not sure how it would affect me mentally.

Just wondering where I should start…..
