If you have serious trust issues how do you open up about something personal and important (that would have an effect on a romantic relationship) to someone you really like who likes you, and who you think (going by evidence thus far) is a good person, but who you've just been in the fun stage of things with? I was in an EA relationship then a string of flings with men who basically took advantage and I feel like it's made me switch off my ability to open up.
I'm not usually like this, but with this man I feel paralysed. But I don't think it's him, I think it's me. I'm scared of him walking away and I'm so angry I still find it so hard to assert myself and be myself in relationships.
