aubree1982 Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I'vethis guy for about 4 1/2 months, this is the second time we've dated. The first time we said "I love you" after only a couple months (we only dated 3 months the first time). Anyway, this time we decided we wanted to take things slow, and things have been going really well but I'm starting to fall in love with him again and I'm scared to death. I really care about him but am afraid of getting my heart broken. I've had really bad luck in relationships in the past and am terrified of being heartbroken. I almost want to end it now, for fear that down the road I will get my heart broken. Has anyone else experienced this? I could see myself being with him for the long haul, but that fear of things not working out is stopping me from having real intimacy with him. I was fine when things were just casual, but now that I'm "falling in love" I am scared to death! Any ideas on how to get over this, or will that fear always be there?
BlueHarvest Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Completely understandable emotions. Your ultimate decision is how do you view love? Do you view love as a journey or a destination? I'm not going to tell you how to view love. But I will say that viewing as a journey will make your life much less stressful in regards to it. If you enjoy the time you share with that person you care for while they are with you then wouldn't you say it's worth it later on...even if it doesn't last forever? Hope that helps.
