I broke up with my ex some months ago who at first appeared to be a genuine guy, who?

was dressed kind of scruffy sometimes but I didn't mind , too controlling etc but for some reason I loved the guy i thought he was. He used to buy me flowers and tell me all the right things, your the only one for me, I have never loved anyone else but you and so on. I have a new guy now that seems to treat me well and love everything about me but I can't help feeling that I am not good enough, i say something and keep feeling embarrassed with what I say to him. I never felt this with the other guy, when family and friends were telling me he is not deserving of me. I am so confused and so want to let this guy in, and show him my true self but I am so afraid that i will say the wrong things and ruin it. Any advice would be appreciated?

    This is the thing with controlling people, they have a knack of being able to make you believe what they want. Maybe your ex made your feel you needed him and by being all over you made you feel he was grateful to be with you.

    As you are in a new relationship, it can take time for the couple to relax completely into the relationship. You are obviously in awe of this new guy, but sounds like your confidence has taken a battering possibly because of your ex. Maybe you just need to be honest with your new guy and tell him how you're feeling so you can feel at complete ease.
