A female United States age 26-29, *opexx writes:

how do you not let a past relationship affect a relationship you want to actually turn out right? I've had bad experiances from guys who have broke my heart, and What I've been doing is trying to realize that every guy isn't necesarily the same, so maybe I should give the one i'm with a chance. Also, to avoid getting my heart broken, i just don't completely open myself up to him, and I don't let my boyfriend really understand and now how I'm feeling. Instead, I get upset over pointless things and then I threaten to break up with him so that he knows I'm serious about the issue. Then the next day, I could care less about it and act like everythings fine when he thinks we're on the verge of being over, which makes me seem like a bad person, but I simply don't know how else to express myself since I'm still hurt over my past boyfriend. I feel like all this could make me lose my current boyfriend, which I dont want to happen. I just don't want to set myself up to get hurt again. What do i do?!

I'm not sure if your emotionally stable. Try being single for awhile and when you ready to love again, get back in the dating scene.
