Is it normal to struggle with a healthy relationship when all you know are unhealthy ones?

For the first time in my life I am in a healthy relationship with someone who respects me, and wants to take things slow to build something that lasts.

I am used to being in relationships that were rushed, abusive, and unhealthy. I have been cheated on and used.

This guy though, is awesome, and has done nothing to make me doubt him or his intentions and yet I keep looking for signs in his words or actions because I feel like it is bound to happen. I don’t let it show because I know that is crazy enough to push anyone away but inside I am so anxious about it.

what you are feeling and doing is sort of understandable.
but you have to give him the benefit of the doubt and trust him until he gives you reason not to.....take a chance he may just be as good as you think and hope he is....put yourself out there - the rewards will be worth it. - my 2c finished!
