i have a tough time trusting women. due to my past relationships, i now get suspicious easily and even the slightest hint of straying will put me in a jealous rage. i feel like i will be forever alone if i don't get passed my trust issues. i'm now 25 and i heard it gets tougher to find single women past that age. how do i get over the hurt and start to develop strong relationships for the long haul?
thank you.
As far as age-wise, don't be pressured to settle down just because you are getting "old". I'm older than you man! I know plenty of single, smart, educated and attractive people around that age!
But I think it's natural to think the way you do because of your past relationships. Everyone's experiences are different and it's sad that your experience has caused you to think the way you do... But finding a life partner is not an easy task. I know from experience that it can be hard to totally trust someone after you have been hurt so many times. But what you have to realize is that every person is not the same and you have to give the new ones chances to prove their loyalty to you. Whatever happened in the past try to leave it behind and just focus on what's happening right now. Most importantly, you need to work on you, and maybe it'll be healthy for you to not be in a relationship for a while so you can do that with a clear head.
But if you are in a relationship, be upfront about your past experiences so that she can understand where you're coming from. This will probably help her be more patient with you until you are ready to trust her fully. But don't wait too long because you can't live your life holding in your feelings because you might be passing up someone special... all because of your insecurities..
. Don't let your horrid past experiences stop you from having a beautiful future. Best of luck!
