    That's a tough one. I'm very similar. I tried dating in between as well, but I couldn't wrap my head around a casual relationship, especially after having been so accustomed to being with one person for so many years.

    This may sound weird, but I don't think I can be casual sexually. I have to know that there's love, trust, and a commitment of exclusivity before I can really get into it.

    Maybe that's why I tended to latch on quickly. If there was love, trust, and a commitment, the sex would follow, and in the context that I prefer.

    I'm not suggesting that you might feel that way, but I do think that explains some of my own past relationship snafus.

    Remind yourself to take it slow.

    It is OK to not be married in spite of pressures society puts on you.

    you are describing a SYMPTOM and not the root cause ... you need to ask yourself "WHY do i have to be in a serious relationship?" first ... the fact that you express that "drama" is usually a part of the process indicates that there is much more underneath the surface
