Okay, I don't want judging answers here. Please bare with me.
I'm not in a relationship, because I'm very afraid where things will go. I'm very afraid to get into a relationship, one, because I might hurt, but it's not the main factor. I'm afraid of HURTING my partner. My mother was and is extremely manipulative and passive aggressive, and I am quite sure I am out of the habit of being an emotional abuser and a manipulator. But I am afraid I will relapse, and that is why I try to keep guys an arms length from me. I have done things like invited two guys who both liked me and hated each other over at the same time and flirted with both just to see what would happen, out of, I don't know how to describe it, absolute wrath. I've cheated, and manipulated to get my way.
That's in the past now, but I am absolutely afraid I will do it again.
Please help, and please no judgemental answers.
