Please tell me good guys like this exist...
My boyfriend and I broke up after 4 years about 2 months ago. I’m still struggling, but I’m mostly over it. It wasn’t a nasty break up and so I don’t hate him or anything. I’m glad he’s the one I fell so deeply in love with and the one I shared myself with. Things just didn’t work out and it was none of our faults. BUT! I do have the fear I’ll never find someone with some of the same qualities that I loved about him
1. He was so comfortable and caring when it came to my periods.
2. He was never disrespectful when we argued
3. He really cared about how comfortable I was when it came to anything sexual
I know it may not seem like a lot to ask for, but those things are very important to me. We never called each other names or blew up when we had arguments. We were always respectful of each other and we hated fighting so much that we’d drop whatever it was were arguing about.
Then I was sexually assault twice when I was younger and so it meant a lot to me that he cared about how comfortable I was. I’ve also had really bad irregular periods. When it was really bad he went to his mom (I’m not close enough with mine to ask) and he talked to her about it so that he could help me. I had the choice between medication and birth control when I finally went to the doctor. Now he hated using condoms, but he told me to be sure if I ever wanted to try birth control. He reminded me of how it could potentially mess with my mood, weight, acne, etc. He wanted me happy, healthy, and pleasured. That’s all he wanted and that’s all I ever wanted for him too.
i don’t think I’ll be getting in another relationship anytime soon, but I’m still scared that I won’t find someone with those qualities. I’m terrified of getting into an abusive relationship or with someone who doesn’t care about me as much as he did.
Please tell me he’s not the only one like that.
