I can't see how getting involved with another man so soon is going to correct your current issues.

Stay focused. Get your divorce, get counseling to learn how and why you put up with the abuse and what you can do to not put yourself in that situation again and ask yourself what kind of a man is willing to get involved with a married woman? Not saying he isn't a good man, I am just saying he shouldn't be getting involved with you at this point. If you both want a chance, do it the right way. You will both feel better about it and you will both have a better chance of it working.
Best of luck!

I agree with Flagirl!  You need to clear you head and get your feet on the ground and take care of yourself before jumping from one relationship to another.

What should you do??? Didn't you answer your own question? You said your husband is abusive, so I would suggest taking a look at the abuse help section in the information center on the site. But I do not think it's wise to jump from one relationship to another. If you're unhappy now, you're more receptive to your high school sweetheart. If it's meant to be, it is meant to be after you leave your house, start your life alone and get your feet back on the ground. And if he's worth it, he'll encourage you and let you have the time you need to get through it all.
