Love help: My boyfriend is very good to me. - Help.com

My boyfriend is very good to me.

He has never done anything to hurt me or to make me doubt him.
The first couple months of our relationship is great, but the more I like him, the more insecure I get. I worry every day when he go to work if he will meet a better girl than me who will offer him more than I can offer.
If he goes out with his guy friends I would find myself worrying until he comes home. If he has to go to a business event and I know there are females there I will be so so worry. What is wrong with me? I love him and trust him completely. I know he will never cheat on me. Then where is this worry coming from? Do I just don’t want to be happy? I wish I could just enjoy the relationship and be carefree, but the worry would creep up if he mentions he has to stay late at work or if he has to see his friends next week ect..
I don’t want to control him, I don’t want him to feel like a prisoner in this relationship. We live together and I spend more time with him than anyone yet for me its still not enough. I know you can’t spend every minute together and you need to do separate things to miss each other. I don’t have family or friends around me so it’s very hard for me to deal, I have too much time on my hands to sit around and worry.
I want to overcome this, I know if not i will drive him away. Please help me.

It is understandable that with no friends and family around you that you are slightly insecure. To overcome this you must get out there and find some hobbies and meet new people. You will benefit from this in so many ways, not just that of your relationship.

you are not the most pretty girl in this world ^_^ it aint that bad :D , it means that there is always a girl who is better looking than you , it doesnt mean he will cheat on you for it’s not all about looks now is it ^_^ , you have to really trust your bf that he wont cheat on you there is a difference in saying i trust my bf and really trusting him, words are easy, action speaks louder than words tho…

I know, you are right. If i truely trust him I would not worry about a single thing. I tell myself that all the time, to not get sad or upset if he has to go on a business trip, to not stress out if he goes out with his friends..

Then weird negative thoughts would creep up in my mind and all my worries would come rushing back. I should use the time to go explore the town, exercise, clean, learn Spanish, do whatever it takes to not sit around and worry. My boyfriend is extremely good looking , he is very outgoing, very social and has many many friends. It’s hard, I love him and i accept how he is. I just wish I was the same and he would worry about losing me for once. Also he smokes alot, it doesnt bother me when we first met but now it does =/

Its like im picking at everything he does to make myself worry… but im not doing it on purpose.

We’re in the same boat Katie. We’ve got to get out and find some hobbies and make new friends. What are we waiting for?

I think it’s natural to feel that way; I do any my man would never cheat on me. Just try not to let it seep into your relationship. When you feel some “crazy” coming on remind yourself that it is irrational and don’t say anything. He doesn’t need to know.

It’s so hard to not say anything, most of the time i end up failing and saying something totally retarded and we get into a fight.. i really want to fix this.

I went through this same thing. It’s like..you trust him completely, but you don’t trust the people around him. Several of his friends that are girls confessed their love to him because he is so kind and amazing..and a great listener too…I started out pretty insecure about all that. But then I had to remind myself (when I got those bad feelings) that I’m the one he chose to actually be his g/f…nobody else. He wouldn’t have done that if he wanted anyone else. It took awhile, but I got alot better about that. I started painting, actually. Also, jogging is a great way to clear your mind..you get rid of alot of frustrations and think things through while doing something good for your own health.

Thanks for the compliment but I’m not confident at all. And I don’t have many friends either and I get the jealous bug too. It’s hard being home alone while your lover is out having fun. But it’s time to make some friends. Don’t ask me how…

I know it’s hard to keep it inside but give it a shot sometime. Resist at all costs to say anything! Come up with an excuse to leave home for a while if you have to. Or, if he is an understanding guy, tell him how you know your jealousy isn’t necessary and that you are trying not to make him suffer. He might cut you some slack. You could also go out with your girlfriends when he goes out for a boys night; there’s no need for you to be stuck worrying about it. I’m lucky; I’m a crazy jealous person but so is my boyfriend so we understand what the other is going through!

Wow that would be hard with girls saying how great he is! I don’t know if I could deal with that! Get this- my hairdresser told me that at her wedding her now husband’s best friend (a girl) confessed her undying love to him and tried to get him to call it off. He didn’t, obviously, but what a disaster!

Yeah, this happened THREE TIMES. All of them right before I came along. He was leaving one job and going to another, and one worked with him, I guess she confessed her love on his last day there..one was his old best friend (before me:) ) and the other I don’t know. But he said he just didn’t feel the same way for them and when he met me he just knew we had to be together. Of course, he doesn’t hang out with those girls after they did that. He offered to continue being friends..but I’m not so sure if he gets how awkward that can be for the girls…just one of them still tries to keep in contact, but she’s backed off ALOT since I came along. At first she didn’t…but I told him how she acted and talked to him made me uncomfortable..and he understood that. Anyways, yeah. It’s not like that anymore! :) Otherwise I’d be crazy girl by now!

Hi Katie, sorry so late.

I think that I can relate to you and to deye’in n’side. I’m not worried so much about being cheated on, but that I am perpetually not good enough for anyone. I’m feel confidant about so many things, my fitness, my intelligence, my class, all kinds of things. But I just can’t convince myself I am good enough to deserve to be with anyone. I just don’t know where I get it from either! Everyone tells me that I’m great. I guess I’m a good guy and all, but no matter what happens I just can’t convince myself. If I was in a relationship, I suppose that I would run the risk of being very jealous also. When I don’t have someone around to distract me I can feel quite horrible, I can somewhat imagine what it must be like for you Katie. Perhaps building our confidence up is what is necessary to help us overcome these things. Maybe that way I would feel more deserving and you would worry less about losing him. Does anyone know some good ways to help build confidence for Katie, deye’in, and I?

Yes! I completely agree with Raul and Jerry! Confidence is the key. I need to build it up.. that way I will be more secure with myself. I am just as good as any girl. If he decide to leave me then he doesnt deserve me. I don’t want to waste any more time to worry and sadness.

Im only 23 and its never too late to stop this right..
