How to let my gf (25F) know I’m (26M) separated
I need outside perspective because my anxiety is getting the best of me. I’ve been dating my girlfriend for about a month and things have honestly been amazing. We’re exclusive, really serious about each other already, and we’re even going on a trip together this week. The issue is that I haven’t told her yet that I’m still technically married on paper, even though I’ve been separated from my ex since October and the divorce is almost finalized. We never even lived together and the relationship has been emotionally over for a long time, but I still feel guilty for not bringing it up sooner.
My girlfriend is divorced herself and has kids, so she understands complicated pasts, but I’m terrified she’s going to think I used her as a rebound or lied to her. I plan on telling her in person before our trip because I genuinely care about her and want to be honest. Am I overthinking this, or did I mess up by waiting a month to tell her?
