| wow, you sound exactly me and my girlfriend. Its hard to explain but I'll try. I had a couple of problems.
First was commitment.
-I don't mean like only being with her, and wanting to date other women. That wasnt the problem. I am completley loyal to her. It was more of the becoming intimate, sharing my life with her. I find this really hard. I've never been close to anyone, including family, and all of a sudden this woman comes along and she loves me and would do anything for me and I just freak out. I didn't know what to do. It's been a year now, and I still find it hard, but I love her and I am slowly getting over this fear. You just need to give him space when he says he needs it.
Second, she cheated on me.
-To make my first fear worse, she cheated on me one night when she was out drinking with friends. This screwed me up even more then I already was. I am assuming this isn't the case for you but thought I should mention it since it played a huge part for my relationship. It did this because we did break up, but I realized I still cared very deeply for her, and she showed she still cared for me and eventaully we got back together. In a weird way it brought us closer.
So ya, I would just play it day by day.l Be there for him, but don't waste your time if he is not 100 percent with you. Talk to him about this and see where he is at with this. He will fight you with this, I know I did, it took her months to get me to sit down and talk to her, but it was well worth it.
goodluck hope i made some sense |
