I've always had anxiety and I have MAJOR trust issues. A few years ago my ex boyfriend cheated on me, and ever since then every relationship I've had, I've ended up ruining it because I just couldn't trust them. (even though the majority of the time they gave me no reason not to trust them).
I've now been with my boyfriend for about 8 months, and I'm trying so hard to make this relationship last. Most of the time, things are really perfect between the 2 of us. But then something little will happen that will start making me really suspicious. For example, if he doesn't reply to a text straight away.. Automatically, a million thoughts start going through my head. I can't help thinking that he might be cheating on me, or hiding something from me. It seriously drives me crazy!
My major concern is that I don't want my anxiety to ruin another one of my relationships. Sometimes I just feel so confused about everything. I don't know if I should be blaming my anxiety on these problems, or if I really should be worried, and my boyfriend is cheating on me.
Does anyone else feel this way in relationships?? I'm just starting to feel like I'll never get over it, and I'll never be able to trust anyone! :(
