If I were in your shoes that would have freaked me out a lot too. My girl didn't cheat..actually her ex-husband is the one that cheated and walked out on her. I think with me it was just that the trust and comfort level wasn't there yet as it was still so early in the relationship. We're close to the 6 month mark now and I think she can sense that I'm getting more comfortable with it because she's asking more and more. She jokingly called me a slut last night when I told her that in the past year I'd been with two other girls before her. Joking about it is a good thing so my mindset on the whole thing has improved and is definitely moving in the right direction.
More than freaked out, I was paranoid, and lost a lot of trust, which she noticed. But then after some help from the forums, I actually realized that if she told me all of that its because she trusts me and obviously is not planning to do it.
Its hard, at least for me, to trust a GF with a cheating past, I still have some trouble, when she tells me she's gonna sleep, I sometimes wonder "Is it true?" .. or if she actually goes somewhere else instead of school, this are all things that can get to you if you dont confront them, and I don't mean letting them fade away, but like Wolf said, eliminate them.
When I think about my gf's cheating past, I think about mine, because, man, I have done far worse things that her, but she has not asked me about them, though Im sure she knows. I guess she doesn't want the details.
I sometimes tell myself this :
"There's at least 5 girls that are willing to have sex with me, and I'm with her, but anytime, I can be with any of those" ... it works sometimes, at least helps me feel more secure. We're only going trough the 3rd month mark yet. I've always had a little insecurity problems, and they always kinda seem to fade away closer to the 5 months ... just let it flow.. but also, don't let your guard down ; )
Good info. Your 5 girls trick does seem like it would help. I kinda get what you mean when you say don't let your guard down, but would you care to elaborate a bit? Thanks man
