"Him". And of being alone
I'm afraid of sock puppets
Roller coasters. Abandonment. Bees. Best to avoid all of these.
I'm afraid of fucking up and crossing the line! He says I can't do that
Spiders, and he can kill them for me
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 ❤
I'm afraid of cows..... Don't ask Long story lol
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.
Getting played cheated on divorce. He can help by being open
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.
I am afraid of spiders. And heights. And giving birth. He's suggested adoption.
That's a beautiful thing! && remember Theres a lot of older children who need to see the beautiful side of life and you could show them.

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.
Him lying to me...be patient and completely open and SHOW me that he isn't lying
I'm afraid of being replaced.

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 !
