Recently I found out that she's getting a divorce. After two years the marriage was a mess. We ended up getting back in touch and have discussed rekindling our relationship. Both of us still have feelings for each other and would like to see where it takes us.
Emphasis mine. I bolded that, because it's important. If she's not yet divorced, the complication is far more complicated than you think. I could see not pursuing a relationship simply because she's so recently in a relationship, and needs time to extract herself from a failed marriage. People take a lot of time to become "normal" again, and there would be a lot of work involved in building a relationship between you to. For all you know, they could think about trying it again two months from now.

If you're truly unable to deal with her condition but you just don't want to let that make you seem like an asshole, use the excuse that she's still involved as the reason. Or let the fact that you've been apart so long be the reason.

I personally wouldn't proceed further, simply because of the condition and the complication of being in/recently out of a marriage -- even if she was a fantastic woman back then, theres nothing saying you won't find out something she does now that you don't like.

I'd back away slowly, in concern for her feelings, but I wouldn't pursue it further.

That's just my 2 cents, tho..
