We talk every day and have been out 8+ times. Sometimes just for a walk or glass of wine. It's easy to be with him.
So this is what a relationship is supposed to feel like?! I am not familiar with feeling respected and valued. For the first time in a long time I feel beautiful! 
Things are moving fast, like having the exclusive talk, but neither of us seems concerned. This might be a result of our ages. Once you hit your mid-fifties it's pretty clear what you like and what you don't!

What does it feel like? Since I haven't quite found it yet, I'm very curious

It's my life now, my choices, my mistakes to make and my victories to celebrate. His choices made me free of liars and betrayers in my life. That is priceless.
