I am hoping that somebody may have some words of wisdom for me please.
In brief my DH cheated on me loads, i finally had the courage to end things 18 months ago and found me again which is great.
When I was ready I tried inetrnet dating, had a few brief reltionships and then 10 weeks ago met the most lovely guy.
He too had been cheated on had been apart from her for a year and had also had a few brief relationships.
I went on holiday for 2 weeks and whilst i was away my new man said he has 'had a wobble' He says he cares for me a great deal but he is not sure if he is love with me, is it lust or is it just because we get on so well ( his words) He also said he is unsure wether he can trust again and if he wants to open himself up to being hurt again.
I am at a loss to know how to handle this , i gave him 3 openings yesterday to walk away and he said he did not want to take them just wants time to think and he does not want to hurt me.
I am gutted I feel like I am losing him and if i do so be it, I'll live sure i'll be hurt but I can and will bounce back.
What i am really looking for is advice on how to handle this situation, do I leave him alone totally? try to maintain a bit of contact without seeming pushy? Or what?
And honestly do you think this is beyond repair?
Any advice greatly appreciated
