It sounds like you have it under control though, and that’s the important thing. You’ve been hurt before, and quite rightly you’re seeing the need to tread lightly.

Yes, true, but I do seem to fall in love easily.

But I'm now putting the breaks on. I found out last night that not only was his father an alcoholic, which I knew already, but he was an abusive alcoholic.

Geez! WTH? I finally decide to date someone and this is his father and upbringing?

I am now concerned that he could be like his father. Like very concerned. He says he's done a lot of work on himself, and that the pattern stops with him, but I am now very wary. Extremely wary.
