We don’t really say it much in my family (that’s probably why I have a problem) so it doesn’t cause me issues at home. But I am nervous for when I have my first proper relationship. I feel as though I cannot love someone (and I mean REALLY love them – where I am able to tell them about all my secrets that no one else knows) until I have been going out with them for at least a year.
I think I might freak out if a future partner told me he loved me like 2 months in. How can I talk to future partners about this? I don’t want to make them worried about saying it too early to me.
