Ask QC: Am I Gonna End Up Getting Hurt?

Hi QC,

The other day my boyfriend and I were texting and he said that I deserved better than what he could give me. After numerous text messages back and forth I asked him if he really wanted to be with me. He said that part of him does and part of him doesnt. With an answer like that it took me by surprise and I didn’t really know what to say back to him.

I’ve told him before that I love him but he hasn’t told me back yet but I told him I wouldn’t rush him and that whenever he felt it he would tell me. I also asked what part of him doesnt want to be with me and he said the part that was still in love with his ex. After he said that I asked him if his ex told him that he wanted to get back together would he dump me? He said no but at the same time I felt like he was just telling me that because that’s what I wanted to hear.

He says that he has a great time with me and he loves being with me but I know it will take some time for him to open up his heart to me. But I love him and I just want to know am I gonna end up getting hurt?
