Hey Everyone!
So I've only ever had one BF in my life (thanks Conservative Christian parents), and was with him for five/six years (19-23/24). He was a severely depressed alcoholic and was emotionally and verbally abusive. After I left him I a few one night stands and one short FWB situation, but haven't been in a relationship since. I have picked therapy up again, have started college, have better friends and a better job, and do try to work out.
Recently, I have been feeling the urge to be with a partner again, and I'm worried that I'm maybe rushing things? Is this normal? I've only been single for about two and half years at this point. I guess what I'm really asking for is helpful advice? I worry that I'm not "fixed" enough to be someone else, and that any toxic traits that my last relationship brought out haven't been dealt with efficiently yet. I'm just really worried that I'm rushing things, but maybe I'm overthinking this. Thanks for any advice thrown my way!
