It may be internal, because you may be insecure and believe that she is cheat. Or you could lack trust in your relationship. Or there could be external factors such as red flags being raised by her actions. Therefore her actions and behaviors could be contributing to your thoughts.

Seems to me that there are definitely some insecurities that you are dealing with. Now this might not be your fault, but it could be due to past experience with other relationships, or just lack of trust in general. Think: Did she do anything to make you lose your trust? Nevertheless, I think a conversation is definitely something you have with her to communicate your worries and why you have them, and talk things out and get on the same page with her. A relationship requires two people, so don't keep this worry to yourself.

It might be so.. because you don't trust her.
Insecurities arise only when there is no trust..and such relationships do no good!

Hello, thank you for your question. There are a few possiblities that may be the cause for this.
I think the most obvious one to start off with is if you have evidence that could prove that she is cheating.
It's normal to feel something is wrong when there are possible signs of infidelity. You have right to be concerned if for instance the things she says don't add up/ she's started to be secretive on more than one occasion.
Another reason is if she has cheated before. If this is the case then there will surely be underlining insecurity in whether she will do it again. If this is indeed the case, it sounds like you won't be able to forgive her. Unfortunately there is no benefit continuing a relationship full of constant fear and unhappiness.
It could be that you were cheated on in the past. If this is the case it's natural to feel insecure in a new relationship.
Know someone close to you who got cheated on?
From my own experience, I felt unstable when I got into a relationship due to my dad's actions. I never thought that my dad would cheat on my mom and when he did it made me second guess my own relationship.
The last scenario is a personal chat with yourself. Maybe you have low-selfesteem and confidence.
I used to think that my partner would be cheating because I thought I wasn't good enough and so he would surely be cheating with someone who looks better. In actual fact I just needed to build my self confidence up.
There may be more causes of why you think this but I think these are the main areas.
Hope everything goes well for you, best wishes

Because you don't trust her enough. You need to have a relationship strong enough so that you can trust in her, to not cheat on you.

Have you dealt with issues like this in the past? Have you had people break your trust? Experiences from you past can affect your present more than you may realize. Ponder on these questions, maybe you'll uncover something. This could also be due to actions that you worry about through her own behaviors. Has she broke your trust in the past, in your relationship or otherwise? There are so many reasons that you could be feeling this way, but I hope that exploring these questions can assist in finding a possible reason why these worries, anxieties, and thoughts are becoming so intrusive.

In my experience the more important people are to me the more I want to keep them around. This makes me look out for any warning signs that they might leave me. Looking so hard for something makes it easy for me to see warning signs even if there aren't any. I think something that's helped me is expressing my fears with the person I care about, often they feel the same way and knowing that we're both afraid of losing each other makes us feel more connected and makes the fear die down a little bit. Like always I feel the key to any healthy relationship lies in open communication and understanding with each other.

your feeling might be based on her behavior or her untrustworthy character but it can also be related to you. you probably aren't able to trust her because you either have trust issues or you somehow don't think you are good enough therefore you think she will look for someone else who seems better than you. these are merely assumptions, i am not aiming to offend you, just suggesting few things to think about and evaluate about yourself.

It depends. Maybe there's something she's doing that causes you to think that she's cheating, or maybe you're projecting your own feelings onto her. It could be possible that you are thinking of cheating on her, or are, and you're projecting what you're doing onto her. Or maybe you just aren't a veryy trusting person. You should tell her about how you feel.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
