Hi all,

 

I am 29. I got divorced 3 1/2 years ago, and was really hurt by my husband. He and I had been together 8 1/2 years and after a tour of duty in Iraq, he cheated on me and left.

 

In that time I have dated a bunch, but only had relationships with three people. Two of those didn't last more than 2 months, the other relationship was about 7 months. I fell in love with him, and I got my heart broken pretty badly.

 

So since that really hard break-up (that was about a year and a half ago) I have been really detached from men. I have been scared. My last relationship really hurt me a lot, and I guess I've walled myself off to love.

 

I have been friends with a great guy for about 4 months. He's 35. I have feelings for him I think, and now that he's admitted to having similar feelings, I find myself getting scared and walled off. How can I make those walls go away so I can open myself up to loving someone again? He is a great guy and I don't want to mess it up. Thanks.
