During my first serious relationship I think I started developing trust issues. Holding onto something rotten, trying to love a person beyond your well-being is just wrong and a recipe for complete disaster. I left the relationship when it didn't mean a thing to me anymore. When all the feelings just run out and got forgotten. Even the hurtful ones. So it didn't matter anymore. But by that time I had been left scared. Too afraid to love someone else, because I knew it would end up hurting me again and I couldn't take it. But I still wanted to love that person with all my heart, no matter what I promised myself I'd love him forever under any circumstances. I still do and I'm happy about that but.. When he says that he loves me now, I can't believe him. I convince myself that he will never truly love me as a tactic of self defense. I prepare myself for heartbreak now l, so I can somewhat control the pain later. The only thing I'm actually achieving is self-sabotaging. I'm probably making him feel frustrated because I don't believe he has feelings for me. Maybe he'll get fed up at some point and leave the relationship. I'll understand him if he does. I know all that but for some reason I just can't change it. I keep telling myself that he loves me and that I should believe him, but the doubts never leave my mind. I can't accept love anymore. What's wrong with me? I don't wanna lose him. Anyone but him. Sometimes I can't help but think that I don't deserve to be loved.
