I have an amazing partner, it's only been a few days but I love them very much, the thing is, I'm scared to fall in love again. I used to give it my all and then be thrown away like nothing, having to collect my love and piece it back together like broken glass. I don't want that to happen with them. I know they'll stay but part of me is still so scared they will go. I'm so lost in this. And I can't even get help from my parents because they are homophobic and my lover is trans. I've communicated my fear and we have talked about it but i'm still so scared to give them all of my love and get hurt or I don't give them enough and they get hurt...

I am not sure if it will help you, but being with someone when you are not ready will just confuse them and you will be somehow to be blame. instead have a clear communication with them and take your time off and don't get involved with anyone until you are actually ready. You definitely will be happier and well not toxic.
ReplyA committed relationship between 2 consenting adults should be based on mutual trust, mutual love and mutual respect. If you those 3 elements than perhaps agree with your partner that the 2 of you are in a committed relationship, and then love should just blossom. The "sexual" aspect of a committed relationship is irrelevant, and really shouldn't be anyone's business. If your parents are homophobic than wait until you move out on your own before even mentioning your romantic love life to them. And if you already live on your own, than try to respect their point of view, and just keep your romantic love life private until they start prying, than perhaps visit counseling together - emphasizing to them that the sexual aspect of your love life is no one's business. A committed relationship between 2 consenting adults based on mutual trust, respect and love is what counts.
Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow, including the teachings of Christ Jesus. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required, although the former and latter are admirable if practiced freely out of one's own free will and without the threat of being beheaded. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Mark 12:28-31
And Christ Jesus said the 2 greatest commandments are:
Love God first and foremost.
Love your fellow-being as you love yourself.
From following or not following these, all good or evil cascades, respectively.
Love...that powerful, invisible, intangible force that cannot be denied; even atheists live and die by it.
And since death is the only guarantee in life, Mary, Mother of Christ, intercede for us with your prayers, now, and at the hour of our death.
