Me and my boyfriend have been together for 1.5 years now. He did some things in the past that really hurt me and just were really not okay.We had some bad fights and talked alot about it. Now he has made serious changes and
lately he hasn’t given me any reason not to trust him. He treats me very well. But yet, I can’t help feeling resentfull, suspicious and angry at him. Now, i know i have more trust issues than most people because of my childhood and my experiences with my parents, but i still think i have been reasonable with him. I am angry at my boyfriend almost everyday and itis emotionally exhausting. I keep it in most of the time because I don’t want to start a fight. I’ve already talked to him about it and he knows how I feel. It helps for a little while
when we’ve talked about it, but most of the time I end up just as angry as in the beginning of it all. He is very understanding but feels hurt that i still think about him this way. I just, I don’t know what to do about these feelings anymore. We really love eachother and want to build a life together,but right now I don’t trust that he won’t hurt me again or cheat on me. This is really painfull for me because it brings up all this anger and resentment from my childhood. My childhood just hasn’t been great and now I have trouble trusting people. I’m nineteen and I don’t have contact anymore with both of my parents because of this. So far the people in my life have abandoned me, abused me and let me down. Now my boyfriend has let me down I can’t help but seeing him as one of those people. What should i do?
