A many splendored thing????

They say that love is a many spledored thing, and don't get me wrong it normally is. The question I have though is why after the first blush of love passes and you settle into the emotion. You begin to have doubts and fears that you can't share with your lover because they are not about him, they are about you and your baggage. No matter how viable or practical the relationship may be, and no matter how evident their love is I just can't stop myself from questioning everything. Does he love me as much as I love him? Is he going to play me and hurt me? Am I good enough/Is he good enough for one another? Will it last? Can it last? ETcetera, etcetera, and blah,blah,blah These issues normally do not stem from anything that my partners have done. Rather they seem to have their root either in some sublingual signal that I am picking up from them that tells me that all is not as it should be. Or the fear is rooted in my own psyche and my past failed intimate relationships. So do you get these fears too or is just me. Why does such a beautiful emotion as love have to be overshadowed by the ugly emotions of fear and doubt?
