How long have you two been together? If its towards the beginning of your relationship it can take time to develop trust.
The reason that I say I'm currently going through it is that my boyfriend recently cheated on me. We've decided to work through it but I'm starting to develop anxiety again when he goes places without me. If I happen to message him and he doesn't respond quickly that's starting to bother me as well. I know its going to take time to get back to where I trust him again but for right now its a pain. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.
Hi superchick,

thanks for the reply.
I'm sorry to hear about what happened with you and your boyfriend, I think trying to work through it is very brave, I hope the two of you make it.
Really, I can't tell you how much it's helping me to know there are other people going through this and dealing with similar issues. This whole forums been a massive help, just reading peoples posts and offloading some of my thoughts is such a big help and like I said, hearing I'm not on my own with it is a big deal so thank you very much.
My boyfriend and I don't really have the same friendship circle, his friends can be really juvenile and even gave his number out to a girl before even though they know he's with me and then she phoned him (not knowing he had a girlfriend) I completely freaked and now I worry every time he goes to hang out with them if there are gunna be girls and they'll don the same thing or try and encourage him to do something stupid. I know I have to trust him more but it's hard.
Anyway, thank you again. I hope things start to get better for the two of you.
