We had an argument last night over the phone about nothing really. So today we had a long chat to patch things up.During the chat we talked about other things and it turns out the she thinks im only with her because i have no one else. She also thinks that my ex, who I have a son with, would be able to turn up any time and get me back. And, she thinks if someone asked me out tomorrow I would say yes and dump her.I tried my best to reassure her and convince her that what she was thinking was not true, but I failed.How do you convince someone that you want them and won't leave them for anyone else?

If you look at her as someone you want to spend your life with. Do the following. Be concerned about her well being, her ambitions in life, her secret desires. Ask about you and her in the future, marriage, kids, houses, etc. Be good to her family members. Refuse to argue over nothing.
Just verbally convincing someone is not enough. She probably wants to see you more than twice a week. This question you are bringing up here is about your true inner feelings and how you like to spend your time, not about how to stop her nagging.
