A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

So, my boyfrined is my Dad's best friends son. I have known him almost my whole life. He has never lived in the same state as me so we really didnt stay in touch til the older we got. He moved out here this past summer for an internship and we ended up spending all our time together and falling in love. I have always had a thing for him and vice versa but we never knew to the extent of what it was til he moved out here for the summer. Now he is my boyfrined and has currently moved back to his homestate to finish up school.

He is still planning on moving back out here when hes done. The only problem is, I have real insecurity issues because of my last boyfriend. I was with him on and off for 6 years and he cheated on me-lied to me-all of the above. I learned my lesson, of course, however the insecurities still linger.

I really love my boyfriend. I am completely in love with him and he says the same thing. I am a little worried about his ex girlfriends that seem still hangout around his freinds where he lives. He brought them up a few times out here and even though he says hes over them they were still calling him and texting him well into the summer.

Im just feeling very insecure and I really dont want him to see that side of me. Has anyone gone through anything similar to this situation?

Hi,

I can relate to how you feel. I am insecure as a result of two ex's who cheated and lied to me. I now can get myself quite worked up when i can't get in contact with my current boyfriend or I think that he is with his ex. I really have to "take a stepback" at these times and try and focus on the positive aspects of my current relationship, of which there are many. I don't want to appear insecure and needy to my boyfriend as i know that it is unattractive and will not help our relationship.

I hope this helps. Time is the best healer as you current relatioship gets stronger,
