Hello Kel,

I'm so sorry to hear you are suffering from anxiety. Is this something you have dealt with in another relationship before? It sounds like you are aware that it could be a false alarm.

It can be very hard on us when we are constantly worried about a partner's faithfullness because we can feel constantly on edge.

Hey Kel321,

Welcome to the forums and thanks for reaching out.

Uh man, I feel you. I'm sorry you're going through this. Anxiety can be incredibly overwhelming at times and I've had those same thoughts and beliefs before. They are so exhausting. I guess on one hand it's like your terrified at that thought and on the other hand you know she's not because you have no proof? Have I got that right?

The problem with anxiety is that it can be a bit of a ride; once we latch onto these beliefs it's so hard to let go off. We keep finding reasons (even without meaning to) that tells us that maybe she's cheating on you. But we/you are probably forgetting all the reasons that she's probably not cheating on you too.

Feel free to reach out if you want to talk about it more; whether it's with us or someone you trust.

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story.

It sounds exhausting for you to keep thinking things about your girlfriend.

Anxiety is very tiring . I wonder have you mentioned any of your fears to your girlfriend.
