So i am in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend. we are in colleges about 1000 miles away from each other. he is such a great boyfriend and tells me every day that he loves me and makes a consistant effort to talk to me. however, lately for absolutely no reason i just have been really stressed out and paranoid about our relationship. we have been long distance for about 6 months and i think it might just be because we are so close to seeing each other this summer that i am thinking of all the possible things that could go wrong. the thing that makes me stressed is that he is drinking and going to parties with his friends (girls included) and i just dont know what he is doing or thinking while he is at them. i know i should 100% trust him because he has done nothing in the past but for some reason i cant. my family has also had a history of cheating so maybe the relationships i have been closest to have ended this way and that is why i am nervous. i still love him and know he wouldnt do anytihng to hurt me but i cant shake these unwarranted feelings. any advice? should i talk to him about it or will that just make it seem like its a problem with him, because it really is just my own issue. thanks!
