being vulnerable after toxic relationship
Relationship Stress / by tallScarf4151

...See more So I've started dating this guy. ive started to really like him . we were having a conversation about past relationships. he said his past relationship was a toxic one and that left him really hurt. so he has built this wall to protect himself. he doesn't think it is worth expressing emotions to anyone. he believes in stoicism. he doesn't believe in showing vulnerability to anyone. he said he will protect, care, love but he won't express it. and i don't agree to that. i think showing vulnerability, being able to express love and ones emotional need is essential to form a deep connection. he said he's capable of loving. he'd love someone unconditionally but won't show it. this is the first time I'm dating anyone. is it possible to be open to love and being vulnerable and trusting after a toxic relationship?
