I was in a relationship on and off for 2 years. This guy had cheated on me several times. He got his ex girlfriend pregnant while still in a relationship with me. Foolish of me but I didn't leave his side. He broke up with me saying he didn't respect me anymore. We got back together a couple months later and he than still continued to cheat on me, verbally and physically abuse me. He was a terrible guy but I never left him because I I was in love. He broke up with me for the last time during my senior year of high school and I was a wreck.
After my freshman year of college I began understanding myself and more importantly getting the confidence I need to be happy with myself.
I am now in another relationship with another guy and he is great! He treats me well and gives me the respect I deserve, but I can feel myself pulling away from the relationship and him. How can I be so scared with a guy so great? Why can't I let myself fully commit to the relationship? How do I fix it?

I was kinda in the same relationship you had. She cheated on me alot and we were together for two and half years. She will always be the one i feel in love with. I started dating my best friend and we have been friends for twelve years now. She is the best and i feel myself pull away from her but since we have been friends for such a long time i was able to talk to her about it and i told her i was sorry for it and i don't know how to fix it and why i do it. She told me it was because i'm so use to my ex's pain on what she did to me that i was afraid to let her get close to me and i was pushin her away to protect myself. I still push her away sometimes but i have gotten alot better. i'm not in your relationship so i don't know if my advice would work. It just takes time to for you to know if its going to happen with these one like it did the last. Try talking to him about it and maybe he will help you through it like mine is trying to help me. I'm sure if he loves u he will try to help you.
