When we started hanging out she asked if someone had hurt me in the past because it seemed like I was behind a wall.
Things have certainly changed now when we got together I was 50 never dated never been in love. But I can say even though I've been hurt now I've learned a lot.

Why do you think this statement is coming to mind for you now?

Maybe just thinking of how I've changed since we've been together. I've been hurt but I've learned some things as well

Yeah, there is a lot to learn from these relationships if we let ourselves. Want to share what you've learned?

Hi itsnotme567, when you say you've never been in love, does this include your stbxBPDw? I'm curious, because looking at everything with my uBPDx, I'm sure I wasn't, despite times now and then I felt like I was.

I felt like I was in love with her but what does love feel like. I may have to wait to I fall in love again to be sure.
