Question Posted Tuesday September 16 2008, 6:27 am
My boyfriend loves me and I love him and we both care about each other a lot and we would both do anything for one another. But last night he had almost broken up with me because he is scared.
He's afraid to get close to people especially if it's a girlfriend... with all his previous relationships he goes out with the girl and then leaves them when he gets scared.
I would of just let him break up with me if i didn't think we didn't have something special. I can really see him and I together in the future and he feels the same.
I've told him to hold on and we'll make it and that this is different and I've told him he can make it over his fear.
But he's still scared and I've explained to him that I don't want to lose him and that he means everything to me. He told me he loves me too but he's terrified to get close....
I don't know what else I can do or say i just absolutely love this man and will do whatever it
takes to keep him.
Please Help thank you!

He should pull himself together and see if he really does love you and isn't just in love with the idea of loving you, because someone could get hurt. I guess in a way it is understandable, but that fear can't stay forever, he has to get over it soon. And if you really mean everything to him, he should let you in. The openess and ability to let you in will show you AND him, that he is slowly getting over his fear, and getting close with you. You have to start though, try talking to him and telling him your private details, and then, ask him to, if he doesn't then forcing him will be needed. Bribe or threaten him, but don't threaten to leave him.

Make sure to tell him that you feel that what you guys have us something special. Perhaps you should try some couple counseling. Maybe some counselor (lack of a better word) can help your boyfriend get through the fear of getting too close. It's prefect normal, but still. You love him and he loves you. I think getting help would be a good idea.
