 I think love and relationships in general is a learning curve. It’s never a linier happiness but it’s worth holding onto if it makes you feel something.
All people are different and some more so than others, that when they find someone that they truly connect with, they try extra hard to hold onto to that chemistry and enjoy it for all it’s worth, because it is rare to find people that would stay by your side.
So I wouldn’t beat myself up about analyzing yourself and your thoughts too much. We all have our pessimistic moments. I would suggest just not letting them become a reality by believing such negative ideas about love and friendship. Be positive and enjoy what you two have. Your boyfriend sounds like a good guy.
The fact you’re talking about this and thinking about this shows you have more empathy and care for yourself and others, than most people do. That’s a good thing, trust me, you’ll grow into awesomness! Happy New Year!
