I am afraid of spiders. And heights. And giving birth. He's suggested adoption.
I'm afraid of sock puppets
Love by loving me
I get afraid not for myself but for him. I get anxiety about his wellbeing - based on our age diff - I often feel that Im standing in the way of him enjoying being young or something. Not a whole lot of logic but anxiety isnt logical. He helps me constantly by being the loving caring supportive legendary rockstar love-god awesome-o boyfriend that he is ❤
Not being all I can be for the ones I love.
I was afraid of that too! However while I was trying to live up to what I thought others wanted out of me, I lost myself and forgot who I was!
Just do what you can with what you err given and look after yourself !

I'm afraid of fucking up and crossing the line! He says I can't do that
Sharing my emotions. I don't want to burden her with all the things going on in my head and stresses on my side of our life. She does all she can for me & it doesn't go un-noticed. I need to take the initiative and fixit as well. There's other insecurities I have but she is great at pointing out that they are not true.
Roller coasters. Abandonment. Bees. Best to avoid all of these.
Getting played cheated on divorce. He can help by being open
Spiders, and he can kill them for me
I'm afraid of cows..... Don't ask Long story lol
I am insanely afraid of heights and of being unhappy. Not sure how he can help with heights, but with being happy he needs to be happy and it should be contagious.
"Him". And of being alone
I can understand. I pray for you.

Being unable to financially support our family on my own. By having a plan written out so I can see how he has taken care of us for the future by saving/investing.
