In which way? If not why not?

My SO does make me feel safe because I know she will never do anything to hurt me in any way. She also makes me feel safe in that she hates me being upset as it then upsets her so I know that anything she says is from the heart and that is something that I find comforting and value so much.

I don’t have a SO yet but i am sure I will feel safe when I have him.

Safe with my heart and heart, not so much my wallet- lol

I don’t feel unsafe much, and the things that do make me feel unsafe, he has no control over. Unless he can punch my immune system into submission, haha.

But yes, he does make me feel safe when we walk off campus. My campus is in a city and not the nicest city, either. There are gangs nearby. Campus is generally safe, but I feel nervous off campus. I feel significantly less nervous with him (or any big guy, really). I am currently taking a class to learn to defend myself, but I still never want to be in that situation, and because of my very shrimpy appearance I know I am at higher risk of being a target.

I go off campus to drink, so I appreciate how safe he makes me feel when we walk home. I would never walk off campus at night (and especially impaired) without someone I highly trust.

He definitely does. So much so that some part of him has to be touching some part of me in order for me to fall asleep peacefully at night.

Absolutely not, I adore her & she gave me 2 wonderful kids, but I stand on my own 2 feet regardless of my relationship status.

I know that my fiancé will always look after me and respect me. I feel very safe with him, emotionally.

Physically, I feel he would do what he could to protect me, but my instincts seem a bit keener than his in urgent situations, and neither of us is in fighting condition.

No. I consider it my responsibility to keep others safe.

Yes. I will do things with him that I probably wouldn’t do with other people (sexually and otherwise) because I know he has my best interests at heart. He is protective of me and looks after me but at the same time gives me space to breath. Basically, I trust him with my life.

I have too much of a challenging time looking after myself!
