After you have your heart broken, you're not as quick to jump into a relationship. You don't want to get hurt again, so you put walls up. You're slower to trust someone with your whole heart. Your last relationship was a learning experience and now you are more alert of red flags you didn't see last time. This is natural, but it's not fair to the next person you date.
Think of your relationship with Christ. He loves you unconditionally with no walls up, despite the fact that we cheat on Him multiple times per day when we make decisions that are contrary to His will. Can you imagine if He had walls up, and withheld a portion of His love from you?
Yes, learn from your past experiences and use good judgement, but don't limit or withhold your trust or your love from someone who hasn't done anything to betray you.
