Hi

 

I have been with my boyfriend for 16 months and things are great. He tells me he loves me a lot, he asked me to move in with him quite quickly (he had never lived with someone before and is 30 years old). He wakes up in the morning and tells me that I am the most important person in his life.

 

Now, we visited his mum in the States a month ago. ( I am not American and my boyfriend and I live outside the US) When my boyfriend and his mum left the house to go to the shops I "sneaked around" his old things for a bit and found love letters of his. One was a facsimile to an ex girlfriend of his where he said: "I love you completely".

 

Now, he tells me often that he loves me so much it hurts and really lovely things but never: " he loves me completely".

 

He was with this girl until about five years ago and one day when he told me about her. I asked: did you love her? He said: "in retrospect, maybe not".

 

My English isn't so good and I don't know what "I love you completely" means but am so scared that they shared something we don't have.

 

Despite the fact that he makes me feel like I am the one!

 

Why is love so complicated?

 

thank you so much for your help!

Don't worry- it's another way of saying "I love you very much"

 

but he is with you now and seems very happy. He told you he thinks his feelings were a mistake- let her stay in his past where she belongs.

Hi Fayebelle

 

Thanks a lot for your nice lines! They helped :-)

 

Isn't it amazing how our partners' pasts can drive us mad?!

 

I wish I was more secure!

With time you will be more secure in your relationship and his past will fade away- it's a side effect of finding a good man

My ex half a year ago told me "I´m thinking of you fondly", it drove me nuts, I thought it would mean something, or did it not? Would you say that to a friend? Anyway, now he broke off contact with me....

 

But, would anybody say it means something? Would you say that to a friend? Would you say that to an ex-girlfriend when you know she still likes you?
