I’ve been seeing a guy for a little while. He’s been through a very difficult past relationship and recently started therapy.
He told me his therapist advised him to stay single while he heals. He also told the therapist he understood why they were saying that. Despite that, he’s still seeing me and has told me he’s not talking to or dating anyone else.
He’s invited me to his new home, gave me a key, and has been very open about what he’s going through. He also says he wants to take things slowly because he’s still healing. We did have sex a few times. He’s looking forward to see me and plan things ahead.
I’m trying to understand this from the perspective of people who’ve been in a similar situation. Has anyone dated someone who was actively healing from a difficult relationship? Did taking things slowly help? Hes very honest with me and share whatever is on his mind. He also said he feels he can trust me and that it’s not easy for him to trust.

I know this would have been asked so many times. We were in the talking stage. Dating for like a month. Met a few times. Nothing physical. Just kissing and hugging sometimes. Lots in common. I am an Aquarian with Capricorn moon. We met. His energy was little distant. Next day he said he doesn’t feel the connect but doesn’t block me and keep on checking my status. He has a crazy ex as he say who still follows him and all. And he has given her chances. Is that what he’s expecting from me too? Btw I do see he has a toxic side so no I think he ain’t a phoenix.
