It feels like if he made any move or offered me anything in the moment it would shut it off.

I would feel like I had been needy and a bother. Almost like I had done something wrong.

It feels like to just be able to be that vulnerable and open, in the presence of someone you trust and feel safe with, knowing you wouldn't get "in trouble", would be a healing in itself.
