I think if you really like her then just give her what she needs and if thats space then do that.....i think if its the real thing then space wouldnt be such a problem...........

I'm seriously trying to do this asap, I've procrastinated cause of the fee that i was dreading, i had no job to pay for it until now

well now that you have a job go file for divorce....divorce proceedings could take a few years, though yours sounds rather simple....once you've filed then go pursue this girl....but like Jules said you probably need time between the two relationships to regroup....if not, then go for it....

At the end it is up to you.

yes, give her space and show her you are really working towards getting that divorce. You have no idea how many times women are told that "I'll get it as soon as I can afford it" and it never happens. You need to prove yourself to her... good luck

it's not her issue tho, it's yours... She needs time to think things thru.

she didn't ask for space, i'm giving it to her on my own... she just wanted to take a step back until my divorce is over with.

If you two are seriously talking about a future together...what is 6 months apart now? If she is really the one, she will wait as will you. You seem like you're scared to lose her, but if you can lose her in 6 months waiting for you, then do you really think she would last forever in a marriage? I have been in a relationship where 6 months apart traveling with work happened every couple of years. It's a matter of trust..might as well discover both of your capacities for that now.

I also agree that time between relationships is very important and personally feel that starting one before your divorce is final is not a great start. Good luck with whatever you decide. flowerforyou

Balky you live in my neck of the woods though further North...from where you are to Long Beach has got to be at least an hour and a half drive....and you know how bad the 405 FWY can be....its hard having a relationship that far away in Los Angeles....

your text message is very nice for you....just remember trust cannot just be given it has to be earned...I think the word 'believe' would have been a more accurate choice than 'trust'...

and your text is very 'I' oriented meaning 'you centered'....

suggestion for change?---example--

Believe in me
cause I feel your pain as my own

Believe in me
cause together we can take away the loneliness

blah, blah, blah....dunno, just the way i'd approach it....

you can't blame her tho. You haven't been dating that long. Real trust takes a long time to earn. You just have to keep proving to her that you are who you say you are and you are doing what you said you would do...
