<human>: Long time lurker, first time poster.

My marriage fell apart four years ago after my wife cheated on me with a mutual friend. I used to be a very trusting person - I trusted my wife 100% and was in complete shock and denial initially when I found out. After the shock wore off I started divorce proceedings. I thought after a few months I was getting over it ok and moving on but slowly started to notice changes in how I viewed other people. Internally I questioned everyone's motivations, even close friends and I stopped sharing my feelings with people. I've avoided romantic relationships completely and limited myself to occasional casual hookups.

Then I met Angela. She's smart, has a wicked sense of humor, strong... but its more than that, even on the first date. It was the look in her eyes, the way she touched my hand. I could feel my defenses beginning to crumble. The second time we met up she blew them away completely. We've spent so much time together and are so compatible it feels like we've been a couple for months. We've been dating for four weeks. I've told her how much I like her and she feels the same way. So far so good.

Now I'm thinking of where this could go and I'm afraid - if I love someone again, if I trust someone again then I could get hurt badly again. I know I'm not going to throw this away just for that reason - but thinking ahead if she is going out with friends for a night out or is staying at someone's house my imagination is going to be creating terrible possibilities. I was never a jealous or untrusting person before but now... I need to figure this out and address it because she shouldn't have to deal with my baggage. Do you have any advice on how to get over these kind of trust issues? For context she's aware of my divorce and what happened. I haven't talked to a therapist about the breakdown of my marriage despite friends urging me to (I don't know why I chose not to).

Provide a brief overview of the text.
