Hello fam! I’m a 29F been mulling over this question for the longest time. I am an emotional person and over the course of the last 10 years been involved in rocky relationships which have ended for whatever reasons. While I enjoy that human touch, being intimate, and crave human and emotional connection, I’m also starting to think, romantic relationships are painful and people are bound to hurt you at some point. All I look for is mutual trust, affection, connection and growing together - but it just feels IMPOSSIBLE to find. I want to be on the same wavelength with my SO on important stuff that matters - and want to be vulnerable, without constantly fearing that this person will walk all over me. I am a true believer in LOVE but being in intense relationships and having your heart broken is so not worth it.

Do any of you have these thoughts? How do I restore my faith in love?

TL;DR - Kinda losing faith in relationships although I am a firm believer in love. How do I tackle this?
