@swoossh thank you so much for sharing this with the community!

It's completely normal to feel anxious or fearful about the possibility of a relationship ending, especially if it has been a positive and healthy experience for you. However, it's important to address these feelings and not let them overwhelm you. Here are a few tips that might help:

Communicate: Talk to your boyfriend about your feelings. Honest and open communication is vital in any relationship. Share your concerns, but also let him know that you value and appreciate the relationship.

Self-reflection: Take some time to reflect on where your fears might be coming from. Are they based on past experiences, insecurities, or specific incidents? Understanding the root of your fears can help you address them more effectively.

Build trust: Trust is a crucial component of a healthy relationship. If there haven't been any concrete reasons for you to doubt your boyfriend's commitment or intentions, try to focus on building and reinforcing the trust between you two.

Work on self-confidence: Boosting your self-esteem and confidence can make you feel more secure in the relationship. Focus on your strengths and the positive aspects of your connection.

Take care of yourself: Make sure you're taking care of your own well-being. Pursue your interests, spend time with friends and family, and engage in activities that bring you joy. This can help you maintain a sense of independence and balance.

Seek support: If your fears and anxiety become overwhelming, consider talking to a trusted friend, family member, or even a therapist. They can provide valuable insights and support.

Remember, it's natural to feel vulnerable in a relationship, especially if it's a positive and healthy one. However, addressing your fears in a constructive way and building a strong foundation of trust can contribute to the long-term success of your relationship.
