Hi, I'm seventeen and my boyfriend is eighteen. We've only been dating for four months but obviously we've developed mutual feelings over time. I'm a christian and I've been raised from more of a conservative family and same for him. We both kinda have the same background. My mama raised me to ya know have manners, dress modestly, and love our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. My boyfriends mother has raised him the same as well. Yada, yada, yada.. I see girls who dress pretty skimpy nowadays and I hear that guys are really visual and they like to see that kinda stuff. That makes me uneasy. When my boyfriend is around attractive girls(or when I'm there with him), I start doubting myself and our relationship. That makes him upset and I feel awful.. we almost broke up because of it. I am very serious about becoming his wife too. I'm pretty thin 108, 5'4 and I've struggled with eating disorder and depression in my past. However, I still struggle with anxiety. I know I have confidence though because I'm confident when I'm on stage. I guess time will tell. I would love, love, love to get knowledgeable advice on this subject. Thank you so much. (link)

As far as the religion goes, I'm not Christian, so I don't know how that works. Anyways, enough about the religion, I'm 17 myself and I'm a male. This might be a bit lengthy, so I apologize. It's okay to doubt yourself in a relationship. It's early in the relationship, depression, in my eyes, cannot be overcome. You get it once, that's it. BUT, it can be managed. If his faith is as the same as yours, don't worry about how other girls dress. Girls who show themselves like that, in my opinion, are very desperate for attention, or to jump on another guy. (I'd describe them in a different way, but I respect your faith so I won't say it.) Also, follow your faith, ask for his help. I'm sure your boyfriend doubts himself too, everyone does, but don't let self-doubt destroy a great relationship. I don't have too much experience with relationships, cause of my insecurities, but I hope this gives you some sort of light. If you need anything else, I have a contact email if you wish to here more. Have a good one.
