    I have similar feelings. I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My intuition warns me about EVERYTHING. I plan for every contingency to a ridiculous point. The way I have been trying to look at things is by telling myself my intuition is spot on but on overdrive. My worries are valid but not likely. This does not always work but it does give me more space to work through situations. It allows me to analyze the situation and see where my anxiety is magnifying what my intuition is telling me. It is difficult because I grew up being told that I should always follow my intuition because it is right 98% of the time. That is not a helpful thing to tell someone who’s “intuition meter” is skewed by anxiety. Then I test the waters. For example, I have travel anxiety. My intuition is telling me that I should not take an upcoming trip with my husband, that something is off and I should cancel my trip. I can list multiple reasons as to why my intuition is telling me not to go- leaving my young son, terrorism, etc. however I have to keep telling myself that those things are unlikely to happen and that many people travel and do not encounter these things. Then I just have to force myself to do it. When I have taken the trip, everything has worked out and I have had a wonderful time I am hoping to start associating positive vibes with travel rather than fear. I have to re-train my brain. Some days are easier than others but I am going to keep trying! So I guess my advice would be to not write off your intuition but to re-frame things so it is not “intuition vs. anxiety” but rather anxiety magnifying your intuition so much that it is out of proportion.
    I wish you the very best!

    Get out now. He may be a Buddhist and he may be intelligent but that does not mean that he is right in all his decisions. It is very insensitive and demeaning of him to discuss you the way he did with this other woman. What bothers me most is that he does not consider you to be as intelligent as him. This is a huge warning sign. He does not consider you to be his equal and this will cause problems in your relationship down the line. Honor yourself. Trust your intuition- it is trying to tell you this is not right. You deserve more out of a loving relationship then to be with someone who would put his friendship with another woman before your emotional comfort. Take care of yourself! I wish you the very best!
