This chapter really strikes a chord with me. You see, I've been in a similar situation as LXQ and my parents' situation taught me that it takes both partners to make a relationship work. If one stops making efforts, it becomes a heavier burden for the other. Because of this, I can understand LXQ's thoughts quite well. "I want my partner to be committed but I'm also scared of commitment." "If I commit to one person, I want that person to also be committed to me." "What if he loses interest in me?" "Will he be willing to stay with me for the rest of our lives?" "What if he finds someone else?" "I must be there for my partner in any way he needs me." It's easy for people like us to be used and then dumped because we are dedicated to making the relationship work. But this causes a cycle of trusting someone, being with them, then breaking up. This cycle makes us start to distrust others and it makes it harder for us to fully trust someone else. We want them to show that they trust us first before bringing our own walls down. Long story short--I get you, LXQ.
Damn girl you are so lucky! Not every guy is that committed and dedicated... In all honesty you should have realized it before he said anything... I mean you are the one who was previously married... Move one from the past, learn from that experience and Cherish what you have at present because if you don’t you might lose the one person who values you the most...
