When did you start to relax around your boyfriend?

Question

So recently I feel like I’m always over at my boyfriend’s. I love being in his space and always touching on him. However I’ve noticed that I don’t fully let him see the true me. I censor  myself and I hate it and I’m working on that but I just wanted to hear y’all stories.

Answer

For me... The first couple of months I tried so hard. I tried to be 'the perfect kinda girl and girlfriend' or whatever. Always paying so much attention to detail, from the way I spoke to the way I crossed my ankles while sitting. I tried to perfect everything and behave so flawlessly 😅
However he noticed that I was trying too hard and being too hard on myself. He really helped me relax around him. I realized that he's not perfect either - we're both human. Little by little I started to loosen up, and maybe after 4 months I was already almost totally comfortable around him.
To this day I still put a lot of effort into looking good and improving myself around him, but it's not out of pressure or expectations set by the world I grew up in - he just inspires me to be my best self 🥰

Answer

I was always pretty comfortable with him cause we were good friends for about 2 years beforehand. I felt comfortable in the sense that I feel committed and I know he feels the same way. I felt that after I asked him to marry me. I also felt that comfort when he helped me in the hospital after an accidental overdose. And again after living with him for two months 🤷‍♀️ he’s always done things to make me feel comfortable and relaxed

Answer

You gotta to open up your bubble love 😊 i know it’s scary but if you really love him and you trust him and talk to him about how you feel and he doesn’t make you feel like shit for feeling that way then go for it 💖🌻

Answer

It took me 2-3 months and my boyfriend was understanding about it he said he doesn’t want me to be forced into a relationship I’m not uncomfortable with so we started dating and hanging out and kinda getting to each other and etc

Answer

After my period came a week early and blood got all over the place. This was about 2 months into our relationship. 
Been together 14 years in June and have three kids.

Answer

Dude trust me, its very normal to not want to open up to someone fully because that can be a very serious topic. I am currently on a break with my boyfriend, because I couldn't trust him enough to open up but I had good reason, after coming out of a lot of relationships, (friends or couples) I was given a lot of trust issues and so it takes me a lot longer to fully open up to someone.    
But for me personally, it depends on the person, how much I trust them going into it, and how much trust can be built upon the relationship. It could easily take me 6 months to a year to fully open myself up.

Answer

I was pretty much myself the whole time. We saw each other every day because we worked together so that Definitely helped the comfort situation

Answer

About 2 months in I was completely comfortable, he’s very easygoing & accepted me for who I am from the jump.

Answer

I love this feedback. My man has accepted me from the beginning also but I’m so scared. I have a good thing going. A great  real relationship. And I get so scared that at any moment it could be the end. 
We talked for a month and have dated for 4. I can see an amazing future with this man but I’ve been hurt twice that  I can’t seem to really open up.
