How long was she with the guy before the 3 year marriage? If it was a short time and then that lousy 3 years, it shouldn’t take her long to bounce back. Anyone who has been through that is going to have trust issues. It could take months or years to work through that. Enjoy the sex. Be aware of the trust issue. Take your time and don’t rush into a committed relationship.

You have only heard one side of the story. What is it about this girl which even made her husband think of someone else? Who goes to marriage counselling for 3 years?

Personally, I would move on.

There is a stereotype that people who have recently divorced are more promiscuous. Ive even met men who deliberately went after recently divorced women because he believed they were easy. I have no idea if this is true, but Your lady friend many be frustrated by your lack of romantic aggressiveness.

Even though she appears to be into me, she always seems in a bad mood or kind of sad when I am with her in person. Likely hangover from the divorce, as it took a lot out of her.

My concern is that the last girl I dated was just like her and recently divorced. She seemed very into me and came on very strong, and then she just disappeared for no reason. I was likely a rebound or she just wasn't ready to date. I have reason to be cautious. I told her upfront that I don't want to put pressure on things and have no expectations. I also still don't feel strongly for her one way or the other, so I'm not at risk of getting hurt yet. I guess as long as the sex and companionship is good for both of us, I shouldn't worry? Are there red flags here? What are your thoughts?
there is a pattern. Find out why you are attracted to moody and sad women who aren't emotional available.

Youre already the rebound.

If she is all chatty in text, but then is always in a bad mood in person, the cynic in my would just think she doesnt really like you, but you are the placeholder.
I also would think that she was the one that cheated after 3 days even though she says her husband did. I think she said that to throw you off the scent.
Unless you know a believable backstory to how that happened, I wouldnt buy it.

I too would move on unless you want to be a counselor.

Oh wow. What in my post Indicated she was frustrated my by lack of romantic aggressiveness, because she keeps giving me signals she wants me to be very romantically aggressive. Almost abnormally. She is very clear she wants and likes it when I am romantically aggressive. She commented after our last date how turned on she was after I did something sexually aggressive.
