What insecurities did you have before meeting your partner/person? How did things go?

My partner is my first sexual partner after my ex husband—a man who did not make babies with me but had to get a post childbirth body. (My worry at the time mindset) so it was nerve racking to me to have sex in person. Also, almost 17 years with the same partner and no sex four years prior made it terrifying.

The most important thing—We discussed the fears and insecurities straight up. No hiding them. Communication is key for almost everything if not everything in a relationship. We talked about how the first meeting would go, what expectations we had, etc. A good partner validates your emotions and respects your needs. Also, if you don’t open up to them, they don’t get to actually know you.
