How do you learn to be happy and learn to love and have healthy relationships when your entire life you never saw or experiened healthy relationships?

Or saw anyone in love but rather only ever saw toxicity and fighting and abuse

I literally said this to a woman a few days ago. Like this is what a mature and adult relationship looks like to me. She said yes, exactly that is what I want.

I told her so do I, but no matter how hard I have tried I have never been able to find that type of relationship with a woman. So, it's nice to talk about, but I have no idea what it feels like or how to have that type of relationship. Because for me I have done nothing but cycle through toxic women over the last 5 years.

She was me to, then we had a great date... next date she was all like I did not ever think I would meet a good guy online, and it really freaked me out because I am not ready to be dating yet.

Yup, true story has happened to me about 5 to 6 times in the last three years. So fucked if I know. Smells like BS to me.

Therapy. A good counsellor or therapist can truly open your eyes to these things.
