Hi all
Have been with my boyfriend for a year. He's awesome.
We both have baggage from previous unhappy relationships. I developed what I thought were very strong feelings for him early on but then took a step back & realised it was lust. I've been having counselling recently to help me deal with some stuff from my childhood/a previous relationship.
We get on great and I love spending time with him & being together but don't have that overwhelming feeling of LOVE
He's the first boyfriend I've had who isn't overwhelmingly vocal with his feelings but very very thoughtful with his actions...
I have a toddler & she will always come first. She hardly ever sees her dad so our time together (me & boyfriend) is limited & we haven't been away together (just me & him) since the summer.
I feel like I'm going to fall in love with him but not yet....
He has said similar... But we haven't talked in depth. I don't feel like we need to.
Does anyone think it's possible to fall in love after a year? If we're not in love yet, can it still happen?
I've always been someone to say I love you after about a month or two in the past (but don't think it's actually been the case every time-poss co-dependency/lust)
Any thoughts or experiences gratefully received
