I want to learn to trust again and get remarried
I posted this goal in Going to the Next Level, but it's actually about Getting Remarried, so here goes...My ex-husband and I divorced two years ago after I caught him in bed with my best friend. It was incredibly painful. I have basically been a single parent to our two teenage sons and work full-time. Miraculously, I met a wonderful new man through my work. I truly feel blessed to have him in my life. He’s been hinting around about marriage and starting a new family. After the double betrayal I experienced, I am understandably nervous about being hurt again. I know this man isn’t my ex-husband, but how do I overcome my fear and learn to trust enough to move into the next logical stage of our relationship?
I wil say yes to my significant other without hesitation and we will plan a wedding in the new year.

I'm sure he'll be supportive if you let him know. Tell him you may lash out at him a bit, but that's okay!
I know what it's like to have your heartbroken and trust destroyed. It's hard to be open and accept others at face value afterward. You're absolutely right. Your new guy is not your ex (who sounds like a total shit and some best friend). No wonder it's difficult for you to trust. The way I handle trust is to offer it freely until proven otherwise. It's a leap, but it's worth it.
You posted your goal some months ago but I'm a newbie! I'm wondering where the relationship stands today with the man you mentioned. I remarried 9 years ago on the 20th of this month. I knew he was the right guy because none of those little voices that I had learned to listen to (but ignored the first time around) were talkin' to me. So, I say, don't worry so much about trusting him. Trust your instincts instead!
