Do you have specific concerns regarding things that have happened?

When we first starting dating he was with someone else which of corse I didn’t find out until half way in and he left her for me which I wasn’t aware of and other little things, I just don’t know if it’s because of the previous relationship and I’m bringing the insecurities in to this relationship.

If you truly have such bad trust issues that they are affecting your current relationship then you need to find a form of therapy for yourself. It isn't fair to enter a new relationship and inflict the unresolved past on your new partner. So many women on here have partners who have trust issues and the damage it causes them is immense. So get yourself sorted.

It would also help if you do the Freedom Programme - you can do it online. I really understand that at the heart of your question is the fact that you simply cannot tell what is normal and what isn't. We also cannot tell from what little you have written. The FP will be able to give you some help with this because otherwise you are in danger of being manipulated into thinking that all these issues are yours, when in fact they may be or they may not be.
