View submission: Are some people too jaded to love??

I’d hate to look back a year from now and realize we’re on different paths when it comes to how deeply we feel for each other. I know he has past trauma from relationships and a guard up but this makes it challenging for me to not put a wall up in return.

I'd say, don't ignore it. Keep talking to each other and checking in with how you're both feeling about the state of your relationship, but just keep an eye on how much you invest of yourself and if it matches his investment. If it ends up that he's unwilling or unable to meet you in the middle, then you'll have to make some decisions on what you'll accept or not.

Make sure you're not all of the driving force in the relationship progressing as things continue, and if it stagnates then you know you have a bigger issue to work out. He may be content with keeping things slow, or getting to a certain point and just chilling there, who knows.
