Am I confusing fear for wisdom?
I M27 fell in love with F32. We became very close while she was filing for divorce, it was secret, messy and it affected my work, habits, and mental state. We both loved each other and talked about a future, but I eventually realized I didn’t believe we could build something healthy or stable. I told her I don’t see a future for us, even though I care deeply. She’s heartbroken but understands. We still work together and share friends. After a while of rough too many breakup cycles we took a break… then I got back into wanting her, fighting the complex of the previous messy situation, decided to try for real. It’s been 6 months since, I love her so much but I don’t know if it’s because her life circumstances are difficult in regards to family, childhood, etc. or because we share similar interpersonal struggles. She loves to take care of everyone around her and then gets stuck and forgets to take care of herself. We both have commitment issues in regards to planning, timing, being unorganized. And she feels a lot of pressure with expectations she feels come from me, about same things that happen over and over, she’s very tolerant to the worst of me. We met 3 years ago, we’re both close to our mutual friends which complicates things, they haven’t been in the picture until recently. I care a lot about her and I feel that’s been blindsiding my actions. I wonder what questions should I ask myself
