I don't get why it's so hard for me to say the three little words to my boyfriend or people who care for me. Is it my fault that I find it hard? I often get told by my guardians "What if on the way home your boyfriend gets in a wreck and dies, but the last thing he remembers is you not saying those three words back."Or friends "You're so selfish, can't you even say it, you must not like him. What's wrong with you?" Heck I can't even write it... they think it doesn't hurt, it hurts really bad when they say things like that to me. I want to say it but I can't no matter how hard I try. I know it hurts people when I don't say it back, but they don't understand I basically get slapped ten fold back after not being able to say it. I do have a slight feeling sometimes, the feeling that people throw those words around without thought. Especially my boyfriend I feel him saying those words to my guardians is just as much as throwing that word to anybody he sees. Why can't they understand what I am going through before they judge me for not saying those words? Why must I suffer the guilt of not saying something?

      They don't deserve you if they can't understand your timeline. My guy waited six years before even mentioning he liked me because my life was chaos and wanted to wait til he thought I was ready.

      I don't know what to say I haven't gone through a miscarriage but it sounds like you suffered a lot because of it. Honestly, I fear that if I got pregnant I would have a miscarriage because I am never healthy and struggle to eat. My mental state is so bad I sometimes wish I was able to change. Maybe then I be more confident in having a child. But I still do fear gaining weight and getting fat too.

      Anyone who says that isn't a true friend. They deserve to be cut from your life, you're going through trauma. I know it's not the same but when my fiance, now ex, and I thought we had a child and lost them, (I say thought because a witch test said yes but regular tests were too early and right before the blood tests a few weeks prior, he passed but I just felt him. I knew he was there.), It ruined me. I told my current boyfriend that I'm not sure I'll ever was biological kids again and that my mental health can't handle it and he completely understands. That's what the people that love you really say. My dad doesn't get it, when I eventually mentioned I had a date he was supposed to be born? My mom started to try to understand at least. Everyone I've told that loves me? They understand and comfort me when I need it. It's literally the main reason why my fiance and I broke up. He thought if he left, I could have a better life because he loved me that much. I tried to OD when he told me and now like I think it's been two years this year and he's right. He blames himself because that's why we lost our kid, at least part of it. I had malnutrition because I loved him so much that I moved for him and quit my job then we had to move back but neither of us were working. He left, my thoughts overwhelmed, I thought I was alone in taking care of my kid and did it. He blames himself because this was the 7th miscarriage he'd been through, (not by me). It's taken me forever to be okay with people in general because I used to think because of all my abuse that they just wanted my body not me. Real true loves like my current guy, wait on your timeline. He's waited six years for me.

      Oh my, have you explained this to any of them? or at least tried to? That sounds perfectly valid and understandable, some people just don't find it as easy to say such meaningful words! and whenever you're ready to is fine! And if you're never ready to, that is also fine! your feelings are valid and I totally get that :]

        @dandelion_flower yeah I tell them so many times but I guess it doesn't click in their mind.

          @PickleNew some people will just never understand! So don't waste your time trying to convince them, and focus on yourself. If you're not ready to say it, then it is not up to anyone else when you will be!
