Trust Issues
Dear Bitter Single Guy: Recently my boyfriend of almost two years broke up with me because I have trust issues and because of these issues we fought all the time. He never did anything for me not to trust him. All of these issues all come from my past, I had boyfriends who cheated on me and abused me and even threatened my life. He never did any of these things and treated me the way every woman should be treated and yet I still had problems trusting him completely. I know for a fact that if I didn’t have this major problem that we would still be together. I want to get back with him and I heard from mutual friends that he still wants to be with me but he can’t stand all the “drama” that this brings to our relationship. I was curious on if you had any advice on how I can fix this and get over everything? ~Eternally Suspicious~
Dear ES: Short answer: get counseling. If you know the problem, can’t fix the problem yourself, and the problem is killing your relationship then it’s time for professional help. Don’t wait until you’ve mowed through three or four good relationships to get help.
Probably if your ex knew you were working on fixing this you’d be able to get him back?
