Peaches,

You have been in this relationship for a year.  You are afraid of being vulnerable and sharing too much of yourself.  Does he share himself with you?  Is he being vulnerable with you?

You have not shared about the mother of his children and what happened with that relationship.  There is a lot to be learned from people’s past relationships.  How was that marriage?  What broke that up?  Has he taken responsibility about his part in that?  What sort of father is he?

As I see with any relationship, there is no timetable or rush in getting to know the other.  If you need to practice sharing yourself in tiny bits then do so.  You don’t have to totally open yourself up.  Learn boundaries.  Learn self confidence.  Learn discernment.  Learn to be strong.
