I already knew about her 'dark past' from the beginning. She went through two relationships in the past which were rocky, short, and ended badly. She has even admitted to me that one of the main reasons she's so closed, even to me, is that she doesn't want to get hurt again. I keep trying to tell her it's safe to open up. I try to hint that her lack of displayed emotion toward me is taking its toll and that I'm starting to get discouraged. But it just doesn't help. Sometimes I just feel like yelling at her, "I've risked so much of myself for this relationship, the least you could do is reciprocate! I know you don't want to get hurt, but neither do I and that's just something we have to risk for this relationship, we just have to trust each other!"

Thank you for your advice. I think you are right. I might just have to press the issue more, even if it has the potential to raise drama. But better brief drama to get through this then me going crazy and eventually dumping her, I suppose.

Believe me, I've tried this. But I'm not that comfortable with people either, so it's not easy since I'm not much of a guide. Neither of us really hang out with other friends that much.

Man, I'm not feeling good about this relationship again tonight. I just feel like I shouldn't have to go through so much. I'm 18, my emotions shouldn't fluctuate like a puberty-stricken teenager so much.
