Trying to return to who I really am again
Relationship Stress / by AmySamp

...See more Hello Everyone; First please just be respectful about this post and my life. Second, here's what I would like for some thoughts/feedback. I am a very open minded person and have enjoyed a wonderful se*ually experienced life in my past, though each person did take it too far and just cheated on me. Then, I was married for almost 30 yrs and, let's just say that the last 5 years was 'boring, quiet and very uneventful'. I became free again, got back out there (though still retained Sahara desert bedroom vibes), and a year and a half later, met a guy, both enjoy a vibrant variety of things (safely) and now have everything I have always wanted. Here's the problem - I said yes to us both just se*ting others (no phone calls or video chats), though I honestly didn't enjoy it for myself. Then, I got a small flare of jealousy and, we had a talk (he's very understanding) and we put that aside. The problem is I am afraid of these women getting feelings for my guy and eventually making waves, or my guy physically cheating on me. I do trust him at his word not to as he is just not that type, but it's in the back of my head yet. So, thoughts/feedback on how I can get past these feelings from my past so that I can reclaim who I am and not what my past forced me to be or conditioned me to be?
