Is it normal of females wanting to feel safe when we're in a relationship?
Wanting to feel safe, secure, protective, accepted and love is something I've always searched for in a partner. To feel safe an protective is very important to me sometimes its something I cherish more than love. Could that need to feel safe stem from my abusive background? |

I have a huge need in my relationship to FEEL loved, safe, secure and accepted. I have actually been stuggling with this lately, as I haven't been feeling loved and safe in my current relationship. So yes, I think it is normal.

i think it's pretty natural almost in every relationship to want to feel safe secure and even more so for women, protected. What gives you these things in the relationship is going to vary from some other women, but I think we all need safety and security in relationships.

I think it would be abnormal NOT to want to feel safe in a relationship!

One of the feelings we get from oxytocin which is released when we are touched is the feeling that we are safe and cared for.
