writes: My boyfriend has trust issues due to his ex girlfriends cheating on him. He has a hard time trusting anyone. Every time something related to cheating comes up he gets so mad and accuses me. He gets so jealous when another guy even says hi to me. The other day he was talking to a friend of his and ended up talking about me. This friend of his told him that he had heard I was having sex with someone at my school. Now my boyfriend doesn't know who to believe. I don't socialize with guys at all because my boyfriend gets too jealous. He has no reason to suspect that I would cheat. I have never lied to him before, never hid anything, nothing. How can I prove to my boyfriend that I love him enough that I would never do something like that?

He would have had to have seen such proof already and if he hasn't by now, there is very little you can do to sway his mind. He is only one who can fix this by dealing with his paranoia. You could try to talk to him about this and ask him if he can trust you when you give him your word that you are not cheating on him. Chances are he will not be able to bring himself to believe you through willpower alone, after all, no one can force him how to feel about this. Then ask him if you two should be seeing each other at all. Without trust, where will this relationship go if at every corner there lies paranoid suspicions?
I hope that helps.
