My girlfriend loves that I'm passionate and romantic with her. I'm never afraid to tell her how much I love her or go over-the-top to express my feelings for her.

However, that display of emotion comes with some drawbacks. I'm also passionately jealous and am quick to get upset at some of the smallest things. There are issues I'm still coping with in the fallout from the divorce with my ex-wife which was a very toxic relationship. I've been having to remind myself that my girlfriend is not my ex, but I wear my emotions on my sleeve and even when I try to hold it back my girlfriend knows when I'm upset. It's been hurting the trust in this new relationship.
