Alright, I’m not sure how best to start this, but relationships as a whole scare me. I am 21 years old and have avoided romantic relationships for so many years. My family is extremely toxic and every relationship I have witnessed has been negative. It makes me wary and sabotage things before they advance it that degree. I’m terrified to get comfortable  and then be hurt and abused or cheated on. 

I found someone I really like and they want a relationship with me. I don’t know how to let go of my issues and just let shit happen without ruining it.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
