can you give a better description, overall... this relationship with your boyfriend? Why doesnt he like the idea of you talking to ther guys?

I used to study in a religious school only for girls - and used to be shy around men myself. but i agree that all that happened to you...may have some weight.

that being said i compeltely agree with Sannah -

i don`t think exlpaining to your bf about it will do any good. you see- people never know what EXACTLY is going on inside us, your boyfriend is not objective. ususally what happenes when we are open to people about our mental issues and those people are....not therapists or havent been through simmilar things, and are not extemely deep and wise...i am not saying anything bad about your boyfriend. I just see from your post he didnt do any good (maybe not bad either...but still)

Have you ever tried therapy to get over your traumatic past? accordng to what you say - you havent gotten over it yet. i know that time does it, but sometimes we need help with it (well, with traumatic stuff - almost most of the time)
