I have been seeing my boyfriend for coming up to a year now. I love him and I also know and feel that he loves me. He’s the most respectful, understanding and loyal partner that I’ve had, but I can’t help but feel sick about the idea of his dating history in the past. I’m his first serious girlfriend, and before that, he had been on dating apps and saw a handful (I don’t know how many and that makes it feel like more) of girls on dates. It took him about sixth months to ask me to be his girlfriend, which felt like a very long time. He had been cheated on twice as a teenager so it made him feel scared of relationships - i definitely understand this feeling. We grew up in the same town before moving elsewhere, but we didn’t know each other when we lived at home. After getting to know him, it became clear I knew two of the girls he slept with personally, and it just made me feel so sick and so stupid. Now, I feel scared when he thinks a woman is cool and it just makes me feel like I’m not beautiful enough, not intellectual enough, not ‘chill’ enough. Because i know im not like the girls he had dated before. I don’t know how to move out of this destructive and distrustful thinking pattern. I really want to, because I love him, but I just feel so sick and so down about it. Does anyone have any advice?
