Girly Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 My boyfriend and I have been together 5 months, but knew eachother as great friends for 2 and a half years before that. Things between us could not be better. I feel as if we were made for each other, and he is the one I was meant to be with all along. My only problem is communicating that with him. I know that I love him with all my heart, but I am terrified to tell him that because of what I have gone through in the past as a result of love. I basically stopped seeing my ex of 2 years to be with this guy. He appears to be having the same problem as me, because he tells me that he cares so much for me but he is just having a hard time opening himself up to me out of fear from what happened the last time he had a girlfriend (which was 3-4 YEARS ago. He had all that time to get over his fear, but I guess he never did. I on the other hand, jumped from one relationship to the next, and had no time to heal, and I think that is the biggest part of my problem. My ex & I had a terrible relationship from the start, but I am in heaven with my new guy. Still, I am terrified just the same. He told me that he needs me to help him get past that fear. How can I help him? I want to tell him how much I love him, but I don't know how & I am afraid that it will scare him more. The last thing I want to do is make it harder for him. But at the same time it is driving me CRAZY keeping these feelings inside! Please help! Link to post Share on other sites

I smile not because my past has been full of sunshine, but because now I love.. again.. and she loves me.. so.. why think of my past, when the present is the thing that counts.. To love is great.. so.. don`t lose this oppertunity life has given to you.. Have a happy life.. Bye bye!.. Link to post Share on other sites
