I mean, for all of us, to have been with and had a child with a man who (in most cases) left or forced us to leave - it&#039;s so hard to trust and to allow yourself to want that love again.
Letting yourself want it and recognizing that you want it is a huge step but it&#039;s A LOT easier when you feel the same way about the guy and when you know you&#039;ve got a good one who isn&#039;t going anywhere.
I hope that makes sense. But, no worries, that&#039;s how we all feel sometimes.
Remember this post?

Because part of you REALLY wants that.  And the other part doesn&#039;t want to let down your wall to actually let that happen.  At least that&#039;s how I&#039;ve been feeling.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think whenever it gets to the point in your relationship when the guy casually mentions things like &#8220;our kids diapers,&#8221; it automatically sets us on edge.
