I'm having a hard time with relationships. need some advice. mostly I am comfortalbe talking with people, both men and wemen, but when it comes to talking to men i'm interested in I put up a wall. I can't seem to talk to that person as if he was another person. I don't know if it's the possiblity of sex or if he will find in me what turned off my x. I was married 21 years. The fact that someone would find me interesting terrifies me. what if he sees all the bad things about me. I want so bad to have relationship with a man. I'm afraid of dating, that if I do, will I latch on and smother that person. I don't think I could date more than one person at a time, and not become confused. my children are adults but I don't want to be hurtful to them. Their father started dating someone a week after our divorce and it was hurtful to them. my x and his new girlfriend have been together over a year. I don't know how to get over this. any body who show an interest it frightens me.I feel like I would being doing something wrong. How do I talk to him him as if he was just anyone else? We have been flirting for over a year and a half. ever since my husband left. The thought that he is interested feels good, but at the same times it feel frieghting. I'm afraid that after all this time he is losing interest. Please if any body has been where I am please talk to me.
tHank you.

Patty, I need help too. I have been divorced for about eight years and am ready to find someone to share my life with. I met this great guy and we hit if off instantly, I felt like a teenager again. For about a month I forgot all about my anxiety and depression. It was as if I had been healed. But, like everything else, I ruined it. I became too "pushy", as he put it, and he broke up with me. My friends keep trying to set me up with other people, but I won't go out with anyone. I am afraid I will just mess things up again. I am tired of being alone. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I have been known to put up a wall that I think is protecting me from heartache. I have had this wall up for many years. I finally let it down and what happened, I got my heart broke. I have a problem with trusting people. My sister told me that it wasn't the wall that failed it was me being so dominating and wanting to control everything. Emma Rose you always give good advice. Can you help me with this?
