It is wonderful you have such a good relationship with your girl. Ask yourself this, What if your girl friend was killed in a car crash? I really don't want to be morbid here and sorry if that thought upsets you. What would you do then who would you turn to? Who would be there for you? If she were suddenly out of your life. Things happen, Thats just part of the deal. good things happen as well as the bad. Work on opening up. you might be surprised to find out that most people are afraid for one reason are another. Having someone to lean on and outside your primary relationship could only enhance your relationship with your Girlfriend. besides why would your T steer you wrong? he is only trying to help you.
