How do I get over my fear of being hurt?

Question - (8 May 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 9 May 2007)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I haven't been in a relationship with very many guys, but I have never been on an actual date. I just sort of jumped right into serious relationship mode. My first real relationship, 3 months after I moved in with him he started to threaten my life if I ever tried to leave him. He had kids and one day he tried to kill his 4yr old daughter by hanging her off a bridge. Luckily she was saved and his kids were taken away. Of course I left him and did it safely, but since him, I have been with guys who turned out to be liars, cheaters, drug addicts, or all three. When I finally met a decent guy, I pushed him away and he ended up with someone else. Now every guy I meet that asks me out I push away. How can I learn to trust again? Any advice on how to get over the fear of being hurt?

What u need to do is let things go. Why? Because holdin' on to it will make things work. And you'll let one bad experience ruin the other good experiences u might have. I mean it's okay to be afraid of being hurt. Cause everybody has been hurt. But the next lover u get involved with take it slow and get to know each other and tell him exactly how your experience has been with pain and the type of trust you're looking for
