i have had a really bad love past. my first boy friend i dated 15 times, he cheated in me 3 of those times with more then one girl. My 2 boyfriend is just a sex feind he was exactly interested- i was the one that escaped his trap (didnt have sex with him) my 3rd broke up with me over some fake crap. and anyone else i've been interested in simply didn't want me or used my attraction for their own benefit.
i just started dating my newest boyfriend and he is thgee purest bf i've ever had....
he says he loves me but ive heard that so many times that i cant believe anything any guy says anymore.
is this normal???
AdviceMistress answered Wednesday December 7 2011, 9:55 am: I hear the "L" word said so frequently by people that I'm starting to think its losing its meaning. I think nowadays people just say it to say it. I can understand why you wouldn't believe him due to the fact of your other past relationships. However, he isn't any of your other boyfriends. COmparing your past relationships to your current one isn't going to help the situation it's going to hurt your relationship. You cna still have your guard up but remember that he isn't a bad guy and even you said he's the "purest" out of all the boyfriends that you've had. Think positive and don't keep going back to the negative things such as your ex boyfriends. [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]
JustAskAlli answered Wednesday December 7 2011, 1:59 am: Yes, It's very normal that you have a hard time trusting boyfriends because you've been cheated on and mistreated in the past. But you need to try and forget those times and take this new relationship as slow as you can, don't rush into anything. Let your new boyfriend know of problems you have dealt with in the past so he knows what you're looking for out of this relationship; trust and compassion. If you don't really believe that him saying "I love you" is for real, don't say it back. Wait and see where your relationship goes and give it time so you both can really mean it. Good luck with everything.

future & don't dwell on the past it won't do you
