My boyfriend and I have known each other for 14 years. We have been dating a little over a year. This year I started under going trauma therapy for my ptsd.
Which I kind of learned in the long run is effecting the both of us.

Since he was raped when he was six. He has always since then limited an held back love from women, because he does not feel he deserves it and is scared of doing so.

Going through a long difficult conversation together last night were came to a better understanding of things.

I know that he does truly love me and I know together or not he will always love me.

Even though I hurt and I am deeply saddened and depressed I do feel like there is hope and if we can just hold on the both of us helping one another along. We can get past this.

Through all the hard hurtful things said...it became clear to me in the end that the issues that hold is back from our happiness are not your fault. It's because we are both going back through our own pasts that have hurt and damaged us.

Its easy in our positions to think that's our fault but It's not. Someone doing what they did to us is not our fault It's who did to us. They are to blame
