I am scared to lose my new relationship. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me but I question it and have doubts out of the fear that he has cheated on me or will cheat on me. I tell him my fears and he listens and calms me down and I feel like I misread his kindness and everything he does for me as to cover something up. I want to learn to trust him but my guard is up and he’s all I have right now..

You could be right. You could be wrong. I completely understand exactly how you feel tho I never cheated. But how I help calm myself from those thoughts is simply think about every possibility, how he treats me, after that I look in the mirror and only speak positive things about myself. I sometimes will put on makeup listen to music and just let it be. I can't control someone else's actions. Know your worth. Just breathe. You are caught up on what ifs instead of right now. My therapist is helping me with this same issue on top of others. So it's easier said than done but if you can't change it, why think on it when you can be doing something positive even if it's showering or eating

I have had this exact situation but I can relate. For me, what has helped is to allow compassion to get in to the flashbacks or the version of myself where I’ve made my biggest mistakes. For so long I thought if I hated that I did that and hated that version of myself it’d protect me from ever doing something like that again. But what it did was keep me from healing and living in a place of fear. I am very judgmental of myself but not with others. So I had to visualize myself younger in that situation and talk to her how I would talk to my best friend or little sister. It helped me realize that I was just trying to be ok. It was fucked up what I did and don’t condone it but like I see why you did that and now I’m going to give you better and love you better so you don’t end up in that situation again. After that, is when I finally was able to forgive myself and realize I am not the same person I used to be and wouldn’t change how I got here because if I did, I wouldn’t be where I am today. You may not be happy with where you are but to be so you’ve got to be happy with yourself first so that you can feel safe to be loved by someone else and feel secure in that. I pray you find the peace your looking for in your relationship and feel comforted knowing that it’s possible🙏🏻💕

Hi friend! Is there any reasons to not trust him?
@Mandapaints I don’t have any proof of cheating and that he would. My mind is protecting me by saying it could all be hidden well and nothing is stopping it from happening in the future. It generates from a place I have been in. I cheated in the past and I hid it until I got caught. I feel like karma is getting me back right now.
