How do I stop worrying about my boyfriends cheating on me? No matter the age, the boy, the situation, no matter what I always seem to get jealous of any of my boyfriends. This is my 3rd long term relationship and I have improved greatly from my 1st but I still have that last little bit of jealousy inside of me when he goes out sometimes. I can't stand it because it prevents me from living my life. I waste my time worrying about him when there is really nothing I can do about it. I try to tell myself that I shouldn't worry and he tells me he loves me all the time. He has never done anything to make me doubt his love yet I can't fully trust him. I want to more than anything and it would hurt him to know I don't. How do I let go of that last bit of jealousy? I know there's no magic cure but is there anything that helped you get over your jealousy? Something that calmed you down and got your mind off of it, even eventually forgotten about the situation?
It's not normal to have this and if it's ruining a relationship or your time and life like it is than you have to fix that. Unfortunately, you can tackle it alone.
There's nothing wrong with you or abnormal accept for this fear. Many people be them celebrities, presidents etc. etc. need and have used psychologists and or therapists for this kind of thing to figure where the mental block or fear comes from and how to get rid of it through counseling and or medication. It's an anxiety issue that needs to be met medically and with counseling and tips from them.
I would look in to that and in the meantime try to remind yourself over and over that everything with him is fine. I hope you'll look into this as it has plagued your relationships for a long time and perhaps all of them too. It would appear possibly medical and tied into a deeper anxiety issue based on what you wrote. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

Guys do not like being accused of cheating and neither do women. Unless this guy has given you obvious signs stop stressing over it. Constantly thinking the guy is cheating is going to strain your relationship and push him away from you. If you love him, Trust him. If you are happy, Trust your relationship. The guy is with you, Not someone else. You need to start seeing it that way, A relationship is 50/50 not a one way street. Chill out or you will soon find yourself out of the relationship. Jealousy is normal from time to time but you need to control it and not let it get of hand. I am also a jealous person but I know that my partner and I have a good trust and communication bond, I know that my partner would never do that too me and I have nothing to worry about at all. He is with YOU not someone else, Keep reminding yourself that and don't be that girl that ends up being controlling. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
