I am back with my exp of two years.
Unfortunately, we had a series of horrible events, one traumatic event that was out of our control, that led to the break up a year ago.
We both became down, anxious and were physically unwell for the last six months of the relationship due to these events.
The relationship fell apart as we were both completely depleted from it all.
We both have had separate treatments including counselling for the last year and are both back at work and back to ourselves, so to speak.
We reconnected and decided to give things a go, again.
We are both late forties, divorced with kids.
We have met a couple of times for dates, to start afresh and have decided to have couples counselling as advised.
The thing is.... he is just too much...
Bombarding me with love songs, memes, long declarative messages of gratitude and love and whil I've asked him not to tell me that he is grateful and having told him that I feel the intensity is too much, he hasn't really stopped.
He is not love bombing me, he has no reason to do this and I know him too well but it's just the relentless declarations and messages.
We can only see each other once a week.
I love him, I like him a lot, I'm very attracted to him and we're compatible ... except on this point.
I don't want to hurt him or burst his bubble but now I'm just ignoring a lot of it.
What's wrong with me? I know I am cautious as I want to be sure we're back together for the right reasons and that it's as sure as it possibly can be.
We were both heartbroken not to mention very unwell so I do yearn to go through that again.
I'm not 'buzzing' I'm quietly happy and low level excited about the future.
I can't see a future if this continues as it's just too full on.
What's wrong with me??
