Very good question, distract yourself, keep yourself busy with other things all the time, all that time you spent thinking on someone... invest it on you and you will see eventually you do not need to overthink those things anymore

It can be very easy to start overthinking things in any relationship because once emotion and time is invested, it can be very easy to have anxiety over losing the relationship, concerns in the relationship, and overall feelings of unease. Sometimes it's just a normal process that needs to be worked through with time and trust in the relationship. Open communication can start to break down the pattern of overthinking things. Being open with the other person can increase bonds of trust and start to replace the overthinking after awhile. Be patient with yourself. It takes time to learn other coping methods other than overthinking in situations. Give yourself the time and space you need while fostering that open communication and it will start to get easier over time.

Tell yourself it's only your anxiety making these negative thoughts up. Often, anxiety makes you think in a negative way and affects your relationship. Try avoiding them and say that your trust your partner, focus on positive thoughts and try your best to ignore the negative ones.

Talk over things with your significant other. The more you talk it through, the less your mind wanders and the more calm you will be.

I think the best way to stop overthinking things in a relationship is trusting your significant other. Talking to them could be another thing, it helps not to overthink about certain things because you have security and less doubt that causes overthinking.

I know it can be hard, but a lot of things in a relationship are based on trust. If you don't trust your partner enough to have an open dialogue whenever you are worried about something, then there's a flaw in your relationship. People are often more likely to be open with you if you can show you trust them, and while it might be very, very hard at first, you have to count on the person you love to be honest with you most of the time. It's easier to ask outright and end a worry than to overthink it constantly until it could become a full blown fight!
