Insecurity; when you feel more comfortable with yourself you will feel more comfortable in your relationship. She has chosen you, if you continue to suspect your risk pushing her away.

Thinking your girlfriend is cheating is often a sign of insecurity in a relationship. You should talk through your worries with her and try to work out the problems that led you to believe she was cheating. You could always start with “We need to talk..” or another “cliche”, and they're cliches because they work....... During your trigger episodes, you may be tempted to do things like check ... If you always find yourself imagining your partner cheating when they're out ... Saying something like, “I'm in control of my thoughts,” or, “I trust what I know, you know?

There could be different reasons why you think your girlfriend is cheating. It could be that you're scared of her leaving you. This might be tied to your insecurity. It could be that you're scared that she might not like you enough or that she thinks you are not a good partner. If you think you always think your girlfriend is cheating because of insecurities, I would highly suggest that you talk about it with her. It could also be that you struggle with paranoia and trust issues. Going to a professional to figure out where these issues stem from can be really helpful. Talking about that with her can be incredibly helpful too.

I always felt like my boyfriend was cheating because I didn't trust him, I use to but he ruined our trust when I caught him with his ex. Wasn't the same after that.

Trust is a major part of any relationship. If we have a low self-esteem, or feel insecure, this may cause us to question our partners. If you believe your girlfriend is cheating, ask yourself why? Did something happen that made you question your trust? If you have a good reason, talk to her about your concerns. If you are thinking about cheating, talk to her about that as well. Always helps to keep in open, honest dialogue going if you can.

Because you are very insecure and have something within yourself that you need to work on. My ex always felt I was cheating too, and I never cheated on him. He was very insecure and I wondered if he was cheating on me.

negative feeling, fear of loss and each feeling needs a platform on which it can stand and be manifested platform = beliefs because beliefs give interpretation, or shape strongly the interpretation of what you see and these beliefs we copy from parents, as you probably already know it's not "normal" or whatever to feel this way first step is to recognize it as bad from your own point of view and be conscious about your behavior, but in real time, not after the fact this work, this effort, will transfer the new truths into your subconscious like for example: "i have to reach a state of normality in which i trust my girlfriend" "so trust = normal" fighting the negative doesn't work monitoring the behavior does, and judging it actively delaying the negative behavior works too, if it's possible for you to do it, but not required active monitoring, real time, judging, goes to root and always trying to shift attention to new direction: "trust = normal" with time, subconscious will pick up the new norm from you and it's not a long time really, if you are decisive subconscious loves decisiveness, so it might be a quick change

Sometimes we feel insecure in a relationship, maybe because of the missing communication, or the level of understanding. It is important to talk about things and making each other comfortable and secure

It's probably because of the lack of trust. Has your girlfriend given you reasons to not trust her? I'd strongly suggest you to talk to a listener about this, so that you get some clarity. And of course, there's still that conversation with your girlfriend that is pending. I hope everything works out for the best. :) Good luck. :)

If your girlfriend has given you no reason to not trust her then maybe this is something you yourself needs to work on. Have your past relationships been difficult? How do you view yourself? Is it positive or negative? If your self esteem is low then this could be playing on your mind, therefore you believe your girlfriend will think the same and find someone else. Work on your own self esteem. Try to talk to your girlfriend, It becomes a lot easier when you work together.
