To not give myself 100% to someone again?

In my late 20s with a DD, separated from DDs dad 7 months ago. Only ever been in two serious relationships, and in those relationships I've always given myself 100% to the person. I'm a hopeless romantic and love being in love, because of that I got hurt really badly.

I don't have no interest in being with someone right now, but I know that once I'm ready for a relationship I will never give myself 100% to a man again.

AIBU?

You're not being U to feel that way but you're still emotionally bruised.

Never say never again.

Only two serious relationships in your late 20s is totally normal.

What would not giving 100% look like to you?

Would you be happy for your next dp to not give 100%?

Of course YANBU.

Being in a relationship is not compulsory. Enjoying being by yourself Smile

No, you're not unreasonable to think like that right now. I had a horrible break up in my mid twenties; I was so heartbroken and devasted it physically hurt. I thought I'd never love anyone again, and definitely never trust anyone again. But 5 years later I'm happy to say that I do love and trust my boyfriend. It definitely took a good year or two to get over my ex, but I did. Sounds so cheesy but sometimes things just need time. Chin up :)

Wait until you find someone who will give you 100%
