Search Results: prove to my boyfriend that i love him

I have a new man, well relatively new. We've been a couple since January, and I'm nervous. My last relationship was on and off for three years, and he was not nice. My man knows that I was in a rough place with the old guy, and he really helped me get through it. I honestly didn't even want to look at men, for two or three months.

Now I'm so happy and I feel great with my SO, but last month he said the "I love you" and I said it back, and I know I meant it. I can honestly say that he has changed my perspective of love and I definitely feel it with him, but I worry that he doesn't actually feel it back.

I know that I'm just having a hard time with trust and confidence, but are we moving too fast? My ex was obsessive, possessive, and manipulative, so being with a guy as nice and chill as my boyfriend is a weird wake up.

The other thing is we haven't gone all the way, I'm comfortable with it, but I think he's intimidated because he sees me as experienced and himself as naive, but he's already proven that he's going to be the best intimate partner I've ever had! I don't think he gets that it isn't about the physical act so much as its about the mental state and communication. But am I too eager? Is that too soon?

I'm so used to the college atmosphere that it doesn't phase me now that I'm in a committed relationship again.

First scenario: you just recently got the girl you've been chasing for years, you've screwed up all your previous chances by flirting and being inappropriate with other girls and lying. But, your friend who is a weak person is talking to a girl outside of his relationship and your friend is telling you he doesn't want this girl and she isn't stopping with pursuing him. So, you decide one night while drinking with your friend to prove this girl is no good. So you harass her and promise to put her through college since you're in the military and you swear you could give her more than your friend ever could and you will also be there when and if she changes her mind.

Keep in mind you do this all while your girlfriend is at work and has no idea. 3 months pass by, and you're about to ship out to basic... and the day before you leave your girlfriend finds those messages and is heart broken... when she's about to leave you, you break down and beg her not to go. You know she cares about you and can't stand to see you suffer so you talk about how you don't want to join the military or anything without her.

Second scenario: your heart has been broken repeatedly by the guy who claims to have been in love with you for years, everyone is convinced he's mad for you and acts like you should forgive him no matter what... and you're tired of playing the victim to him and having him always completely disregard your feelings and the relationship you shared... you retaliate while he's in basic and kiss another guy. It was literally a sit down, think about it, and decided to do it anyways. To make matters worse you decided to kiss your ex knowing quite well that it would hurt your boyfriend just a bit more. You've full on disregarded your relationship at this point and you're about to end it and tell your boyfriend everything.
