Anxiety and stress / worried partner is cheating

3 replies

Elfp321 · 17/12/2023 16:06

Hi all,
so would love some advice.
ive been with my partner for about 5 months now, it was a pretty rocky start as we are so different in the way we handle arguments etc. it also doesn’t help that about 6 months ago my father passed away so I’m dealing with grief.
anyway, things have been really good recently and we’ve now even moved in together, I’ve never felt this sort of love someone in my life!
though I can never stop worrying that he’s being unfaithful, he’s given me no reason to think he has apart from the fact he’s cheated in the past but so have I?
he leaves his phone in front of me, goes on it in front of me but I am constantly thinking that he’s speaking or meeting with someone.
I feel so on edge and have constant anxiety which I’ve never experienced before, I’m worried that the more I worry the more likely cause will be him leaving… I’m planning to get some therapy but wanted to see if anyone else experienced these worries and how they dealt with them?

thanks!

Hi,
also might be worth noting that he’s never cheated on me! He’s cheating in previous relationships.

Hmmm, I would get therapy. Sounds like pathological jealousy to me. Due to past trauma, due to the fact you love him so much and afraid to lose him? Either way I don’t think you can continue living like this.

I would be asking myself what future is there in the relationship if
we are arguing after 5 months together.
