The reality of the divorce has finally hit. Sometimes, it takes a while for these things to grip a person, even if the person has considered themselves prepared. It sort of a death, death of a marriage. And when someone has been sick a long time and everyone is expecting the worse, when he/she is finally gone, the punch is still really hard for most. Divorce is like that too.

And if you're the first person he's dated since, it could be the rebound thing, too. But to his credit, he was honest with you. He probably needs time to sort through things.

I understand you want to be there for him but I would back off and let him figure out his emotions. It may be a rebound thing - may not. But you need to protect your emotions as well. If you continue all of this constant communication you are just going to get in deeper and deeper with him and when he finally figures out what he wants to do - it may be that he is not ready to be in a relationship with anyone right now. Sounds like he needs to get over the end of his marriage first.
