Insecurity and Trust Issues

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and 8 months. Everyone in my family and all of my friends would tell me how in love my boyfriend is with me, how he will only have eyes for me. In August, a friend told me that my boyfriend had been talking to a girl in a way he shouldn't have been, telling her that he's attracted to her. I called him out on it and told him to never let it happen again. I went quite some time without thinking about it much, but for the past few weeks, I have caught myself paying close attention to what he does on Facebook. I know that he loves me and that he isn't doing anything wrong, but I can't help but feel nervous. Please help me out...I don't want to "keep tabs" on him. I don't want to feel this way.

my daughter went through the same thing.  They are lonely and away from you, and just like talking to people.  In MOST cases it's just innocent.  My daughter is now married to her sailor and they have a newborn baby.  Try to have faith.  It might help to tell him that you are putting your faith and trust in him and that you are trusting him with your heart and to not let you down.  I always feel if we give them something to think about, they think twice about making a mistake!

Hi, MissMyHero!

Really sorry to hear what you're going through. I've been there and I know the heartache. What motherinlawtobe said is right on the spot. If he knows how much he has to lose by acting in that way, he's very likely to not do it again. If things are going great in your relationship, and you're meeting all of his needs ( and vice versa of course) than it might all just boil down to insecurity. If you're his amazing girlfriend who he loves so much and who he knows he can always count on then take it to heart! You're awesome! YOU weren't the reason he slipped up earlier and you won't be again. So go ahead and trust him. If he beraks your trust, he's just an A-hole.

Thank you ladies!!! I told him that I trust that he won't break my heart. It's scary when someone has this much power over you! My second longest relationship was only 3 months, so that was nothing compared to my relationship with my sailor. I just want him home so we can spend time together and rebuild our bond. Thanks again!
