trust issues
hi. my boyfriend and i are in our 20’s and have been together for three months. we have been through a lot together and we’ve seen the best and worst parts of each other. i know three months isn’t a long time but for us, it feels like we’ve been together a lot longer than that. we click so easy, get along really well and i want to see this relationship as my last. i feel like i have trust issues from my past relationships and trauma but i remember that he is not those people from my past and i am learning more and more about him every day and become more and more comfortable as the days go by. unfortunately, my boyfriend does not see it this way. he is always afraid that i’m going to cheat on him and that people are out to get him. this is an every day thing. it is a little exhausting mentally to remind him every day that i want to be with him and that i would never do anything to hurt him like that. i have never been that person and i love way too hard to hurt anyone’s heart like mine has. i feel like this is getting in the way of us being happy and content and i have no idea how to help him calm the worries he has. we dont like spending time apart but do from time to time and he thinks that i’m having other people over at my house or that i’m out doing something behind his back when i’m really just sitting at home taking care of myself. i don’t know what to do in these situations because he always thinks i’m lying when i tell him i’m not doing these things behind his back. i am in love with him and adore who he is and have no problem reminding him of my love for him and how far i would go for him but my mental health is not where like i feel it should be because of his trust issues and accusations. advice?
