I agree! I’ve improved sooooo much in this aspect thanks to my current partner. He is very patient and 100% allows me to talk about these issues. He explains anything I’m concerned about so that I understand his motives and intentions. He’s actually been cheated on a couple of times and “gets” the fears, no matter how irrational. The worst thing he’s ever done was text a mutual friend of ours (more mine than his) and “hide” it from me over a weekend away. I found out, we discussed why it was inappropriate and why it almost destroyed my trust and is actually made our communication stronger.

I’m working every day on making myself more confident and secure….without him. So that our relationship is stronger.
