I was cheated on last year by a man I had been dating for almost 2 years. This was a blow on my confidence I felt as if he had stolen the years where I looked the best ( in my own opinion ) yet I still wasn’t good enough. Although I know it has nothing to do with me and it has all to do with him and how chooses to treat someone he supposedly loves, it still hurt as expected. As time went on I built myself back up got back a personality I thought I had lost and I’ve become stronger because it, switching to the present I’m now going on 6 months with a guy I has been friends with for 6 years before we decided to take the leap into a relationship. And he is PERFECT we get along so well things go so so smoothly we have the same fundamental morals and ideas for our future and I am physically attracted to him!! But ever since being cheated on it’s as if there’s a block in my mind stopping me from continuing anything sexual and I want to I just cannot bring myself to. The person I’m with now is so patient with me, and I’ve explained how I feel and he completely understands. Yet I still feel bad, I’m not sure how to shake off this feeling and I’d like to bring back my confidence to progress further into this relationship physically any advice is welcome.

PS. Please don’t bash me for being in a relationship when I’m not “ready” that’s not it at all.
