I am having a hard time letting myself be happy because I don’t believe in ‘happily ever after’ anymore. I was with a guy for nearly 3 years and I really thought it was going to last forever but we broke up last year, which I found very tough especially since it ended very abruptly and bitterly. I am well over my ex now but I promised myself that I didn’t want to get into anything serious for a long time.

I have recently met an amazing guy who went through the same type of break up as me, we get along great, I find him very attractive, funny, brilliant company and he seems very reliable. The problem is all I can think about is going through the whole relationship thing again and it scares me so much. I know I’m going to let a great thing go but I just can’t help feeling like this…what am I to do????
