Hi Zanity,

I can relate to your situation as it happened to me before my break up, and I regret it. My family background is very similar to yours. When I was with my ex there were times I did feel like I didn’t love him, until he broke up with me.

I think it’s caused by an underlying insecurity you have when you’re too attached to someone, like a defence mechanism, when you’re in love you’re vulnerable to the other person, so you subconsciously block your feelings to prevent getting hurt.

Try talk to him openly with your issues and make sure he understands. Work on the underlying problem (like childhood issues). He loves you and there’s nothing to be afraid of, you’re safe <3
