Dear Emily K:

I understand that you have history of anxiety regarding relationships, but there is also real life facts that call for caution: when he goes out partying and drinking, there is a higher chance that he will get physically involved with another woman than if he did not. The affect of alcohol plus his natural needs as a young man are quite powerful in combination.

You wrote that you trust him, but do you not trust as well that alcohol has certain affects and that your LDR boyfriend has physical needs?

If you agree with my points here, why don’t you discuss this with your boyfriend, ask him about his experience with alcohol and his physical needs when going out? Ask, hear his response and take it from there.
