I trust him completely but I don't think that stops the devil on my shoulders rom thinking otherwise. I think humans are naturally untrusting. Past bad relationships don't help it either

You cant help the ugly beast from rearing its head basically. I have been through more stuff than I would like to admit but its life. I have had my ups and downs and past experiences are the same as yours. Basically if you let it consume you then you will never trust again. You cant bring past relationship into the present or you will make the same mistake again. My husband and I have a conversation about it the other day about how I feel by myself and when ever I talk to him it sounds like he is having the time of his life and he basically told me that he is constantly surrounded by 900+ people a day and to get time to himself is very rare and what he would give to have that. Basically you just have to learn to trust again. yes trust can take a minute to break and a life time to fix but if he did nothing to lose your trust then you should have not problem. the best thing i can say is communication. I am extremely lucky to have a husband that I can talk to about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and he will support me and tell me whats what and I the same with him.

That I am thankfully luck to have. We talk about anything and everything and I have talked to him about. Just thought I could get navy wife's support as well. He is my other half, my best friend.

I am in the same boat with my husband he has become my absolute best friend and I am his too. Getting support is always here its just trying to find that. And if you do need to talk you can message me.

Sometimes communication online like this is limited. You put out a little, and perhaps you'll feel like what you get in reply is not applicable. In person, there would be back and forth, physical cues, and so on.
You don't have to feel bad for how you feel, just be aware of it. If the devil on your shoulders gets too strong, you may need to explore why. If not, then don't.
Sometimes the support here is very practical, and not very warm and fuzzy. Not everyone likes that, and that's okay.
Hey, my husband was in a lot of liberty ports with every opportunity to misbehave. He used to carry condoms for the single guys who were too "cool" to carry their own. You bet I had to trust him! 27 years now.

That is absolutely wonderful that he would do that. I think I'm just completely overwhelmed. I finally got to see him and talked to him after two months. I think I'm on sensory overload.

I was like that even now when I see my husband I tend to cry for no reason at all like when I went to see him for Christmas we were in the car like laughing hysterically and then I started crying and my husband was like whoa what did I do and I was like I have no clue it was a mess. But I would not trade it for the world. You will make it through

Your are experiencing a new normal, it takes a while to learn how to lean into the rollercoaster ride of emotion. You'll get the knack. By this time next year, you;ll be dishing out the good advice yourselves.
