A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

How do I know if I really love him? I thought I knew even though I've been in love before and knew it didn't feel anything like last time. Figured it was just different than before.

And how do I know he loves me? He tells me he does but sometimes I wonder if he just says it because he thinks thats what I expect or what I want. I've always been scared to trust in case I get hurt.

We've been together nearly two years and have a six month old daughter. I'd never been in a relationship before and I don't think he'd ever had anything serious before either. He's 24, I'm 22.

We don't argue, it isn't healthy. When we're mad at each other we just ignore each other. If I try to talk to him, he goes into denial.

I'm so confused and sometimes feel like running but I wouldn't, I have responsibilities and I wouldn't want to jeopardise my daughter in any way. I love her so much...

Please help...

I dont think you can force someone to love you and vice - versa but i know that by spending time w/ someone , and doing things together , have fun such feelings can happen. If you loved him once at least in a romantic way im sure you can love him again, but dont try to force yourself . Think hard about what it is you like about him & the things you dont, something caught your attention in the beginning unless you got w/ him so you wouldnt be alone.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I love him and care about him in the way I would a really close friend, I think but as I've never really had a really close friend I'm not sure about that either. I know when I met him, I never had that spark, that wave of over whelming emotions, which I have had for other men. It was just that he liked me, he wanted to be with me and then he told me that he loved me - no one had ever cared for me in that way before and I really needed that feeling of being loved after coming out of a long period of clinical depression. I wasn't using him, I really do genuinely care about him but do I love him, real romantic physical, heart beating love, I'm not so sure that I do, much as I want to. There's no real way to force myself to feel like that about him, is there? I don't know what to do anymore. I just don't want my baby getting hurt and I don't want my boyfriend getting hurt either..

You should just know if you love him, if you think of him and miss him all that basic things you know. Its hard when theres a baby involved, someOne once told me we always go back to the person we had a baby with , idk if its true im having my baby in a few days. Try to save your relationship if theres love left and always fight for what you want. Goodluck:)
