Hi all
Just looking for some advice or if anyone else has felt the same.
I've lost a few close loved ones in my life which has left me with trust/anxiety/loss issues understandably.
For the past 10 months I've been dating a lovely guy, who has been very respectful with me as I've never had a bf before. He showed a lot of interest and care in me but because of my past losses I feared I would loose him so backed off. I've tried to explain this to him but now I feel that the relationship has gone a bit 'flat'. Despite asking him where we are going he said he has feelings for me and wants to keep things 'as they are' but doesn't want a proper relationship at the minute.
He still says all the right things and I think feelings are there - hence I would like to give it a shot at working after so many months.
My problem is - and can anyone else relate - constant fear of loss. I hate this fear of wanting to get attached but so scared of rejection constantly!
In turn, it all fuels my anxiety until I feel that I do really push him away :( which I don't want to, as would love to see this work.
Any advice or similar experience appreciated! X
