I am afraid of losing him when the distance between us widens. As long as we continue to communicate and provide one another with full disclosure on life's events, everything should be fine.

That is a very real fear. The best way to mitigate that is open communication (like you said) and face to face time AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. We have to do everything we can...and stay positive and WE CAN DO IT!

I'm afraid to FAIL! My partner can help me by having patience, temporarily taking the lead/weight of the work that's required in our relationship, and loving me through it!

not being in control. He can help by telling me how it's going to be!

I was afraid of driving. It was a paralyzingly fear that took me a long time to overcome. He helped by encouraging me and be patient. He never pushed me or got angry when it became an inconvenience for him. He was so understanding and had been really proud of me as I pushed through my fear to get my license and start driving.

Him not achieving financially
Male or Female, 26-30 years, Dating • • Comment

I've always been scared of finding this kind of love that has a possibility of hurting me and losing emotional control. I don't know what he can do but I'm in too deep now so we'll just have to wait and see *shrug*
Female, 36-40 years, Dating • • Comment

I'm afraid of bugs and dead things. As long as he kills and disposes of any vermin, we're good. On a more serious note, I fear endings, things falling apart, and the big one: death. Not sure what anyone can do about that. I think it comes with time.
