relationships are a little like falling off a horse (or being catapulted) and getting back on and giving it another try - you have to grow in confidence and trust once again. This can take time to heal the hurt, both physically & mentally. Not a great analogy but you do have to learn to trust again hun and I think he sounds pretty genuine. Any man who would see me bed ridden and not at my best deserves a medal You sound as if you are very fond of him?

I like the analogy DB - the best thing to solve a confidence crisis with a horse is to get back in the game with help from a nice, gentle, confidence-giving neddy...the downside to trying this tactic with men is that your friends can't give you any recommendations and you can't swap to the less predictable one once your confidence has grown a bit! I guess the best thing is just to go with your gut feeling and if it feels right then do it, and if not then don't. This guy sounds nice and quite genuine, but take it slowly and your trust in him will grow with time Good luck hun! We all love you

He sounds pretty genuine to me. Anyone who wasn't that interested would have given up quickly seeing the situation you're in but he's stuck around even after seeing you at your worst. It also sounds like you've pretty well made up your mind and are just looking for reassurance. Only you know when it's going to be right. I just know that if you don't take a risk you will never know. Life is full of ups and downs. If you never have any lows you can never fully appreciate the highs. He sounds like a good 'un. Good luck!

There are some real prats out there and some real good guys too, and I think you have to have your fair share of prats before you find the good one. But the thing is- if you treated all men like potential prats then they would probably turn out that way, so treat them all like good guys and you will find the one, yes your heart may get a bit battered (and more resilient too) but at least whent he right one comes along you will know it. This guy is certainly going the right way, so although its early days its positive, and its heart warming he has looked after you.
I knew it was real for me when my other half cycled miles to get me oxtail soup when I was unwell. The good ones dont just say it- they do it!

He sounds lovely but two thoughts pop into my head if you think he might be 'the one' first give it time people can make an effort for a few weeks or months but eventually if it is an effort it will change. Also does your tummy turn over when you see him? There has to be a 'spark' no matter how kind he is otherwise you will be the one walking away. There is definitely someone for everyone! Good luck, I hope it works out.
