First healthy relationship is it normal to be super emotional?

Im 35 & he’s 28.

after I met him I saw how gentle he is it became soo obvious I’ve never dated anything but very rough mean aggressive most were abusive too

So the boyfriend I have now is NOTHING like them. I have OCD for example & with EVERY ex it’s been like going 200mph crashing into a brick wall with them. With him it’s like a speed bump & it’s over.

He calms me down soo much, makes me wanna be nice to him, I rub him physically & im not usually like that. He’s just safe. For once. And honestly it’s so scary I cry a lot cuz I’m so scared to lose it & idk being loved so gently after so hard is that normal to happen like an emotional release?

Things are so good I’m trying to figure out why I’m so emotional because I have been since the start with him months ago & nothing has changed

Tldr: is it normal to be emotional in first healthy relationship? And why?
