Perhaps you have been cheated on in the past? People who have experienced cheating in the past may become worried that future relationships will result in the same way. Just try and remember that not everyone cheats during a relationship. Furthermore, maybe your girlfriend has gave you reason to believe that she is cheating. Perhaps she has flirty behaviour which you consider is crossing the line. Or maybe she has cheated in the past and you forgave yet are worried that she is cheating again? Just remember if that is the case then you forgave her and thought you could put it behind you.

Honestly it is kind of normal to form some type of paranoia feeling while in a relationship. It's just one of those things where you just think to yourself "why me?" And this makes it especially hard if you deal with insecurities. But, if you feel as if you can't trust her, then what's the point in being with her? But if you have no evidence or haven't seen anything you also don't want to risk your whole relationship over something that might not even exist. But just trust your gut on this one. Best of luck to you.

Maybe because you have past issues that result in the now, possibly trust issues. Have a conversation with her about it and work on yourself for a healthy relationship. Not saying there is anything wrong with it but trust is an important factor and if you dont have the trust then that makes things difficult. Im sure its just worry but again talk to her if she trusts you enough to let you express your emotions just do what u can to work towards being able to get these thoughts out of your head. Youll be ok and you got this

You may be insecure and fear losing her and this is leading you to think "what if" thoughts perhaps and imagine scenarios where she might be cheating on you. It could stem from a fear of losing her. It is useful to check for real life evidence when you think such thoughts and challenge the thoughts with reality instead of allowing the thoughts free rein. Suspicion of your girlfriends whereabouts and dealings might be stemming from trust and self esteem issues within yourself. And maybe these need to be dealt with so that you are not carrying the past into the present situation. In trusting others there can be the risk of being hurt but its a necessary part of a healthy relationship. Questionning and be suspicious of your partner when they arent cheating may be tiresome for them and it might drive them away...the exact opposite of what you want.

It sounds like you are worried about your girlfriend seeking out others for a something you thing is missing in the relationship, or that you are feeling like you are not giving her enough of something and that she's finding it somewhere else, or maybe you feel possessive of her and are unhappy when she goes out without you or does things with other people she knows? What sort of things have happened to make you think that she has been unfaithful to you? Why do think you feel worried that she is cheating on you? Is there anything that makes you not feel confident that you are both still committed in your relationship?

I think it is because of your trust issues with her! As long as a trust is present in a relationship, the bonding is considered to be a strong one! If you are thinking she might be cheating on you, any past incidents would make you doubt on her! But if she is a trustworthy person, needless to say, she is a gem! You may not doubt her! If you still thinking she is cheating on you, I guess you are not with a proper mindset about her personality or the so-called misunderstanding! The key for a good relationship is communication! So, communicate more often to get to know more about her. Stay positive!

A short answer could simply be jealousy. And if she really isn't that's only proof more that you truly love her, and even the chance of someone else having you triggers you. But there's always the possibility that she is and she's bad at hiding it. If that's the case, it's best to end the relationship, but NEVER close yourself off to newer relationships. Being sad and lonely isn't worth the temporary pain you feel from healing from the wounds of the old relationship. Remember, when something breaks, it grows back stronger, unless you keep rubbing salt in the wound.

If she gives you the reasons to think that (she acts different, weird, distant etc..) be straight forward and tell her that. But, if she doesn't and you believe it is ''all in your head'' I think it could be one (or more) of these three: you have low self-esteem, bad past experiences or you think she is out of your league. If it's first - work on your insecurities, step by step, but not to impress her, but to feel better about yourself. She is happy with you, otherwise she wouldn't be your gf and there is a huge chance she is even aware of the things that bother you. We are the worst judges of ourselves. If it's second- don't let past affect your future. Past built you stronger but you are still a person with emotions. Let someone be 'the one' :) Not every girl is like your ex. Give your gf a chance to destroy you and trust her that she will never do it. She can be prettiest, smartest, funniest ... but if you don't trust her, she isn't worth it. if it's the third- remember, she also decided to start relationship with you. It takes two, doesn't it? It isn't all about looks, there is something about the heart also.

Because she's a popular person has has a lot of friends and because I'm too worried about losing her to unknown competition that could be out there. Even though it is probably because I don't have enough confidence that I am worth her love and company, despite the thought she might not be thinking in such a way. Thinking that my girlfriend is cheating is probably a way to show my lack of confidence, having a short conversation with her to let her know of my worries and how my actions could be beyond her understanding might be good. This will allow her to understand me better and to prevent any arguments that might arise from miscommunications.

In the world of relationships, there can be loads of reasons for the couple to struggle. One of these are doubt, jealousy and more. You might feel like she's cheating all the time because you are doubting the actions she's making. Trust is a very powerful and important thing when it comes to making a bound strong. when you don't trust somebody the relationship between the both of you is more likely to fall apart without a fight. It's normal to get jealous but if you don't trust someone then that's a not more difficult to deal with. Let's put into conclusion that the trust you gave to a person has been broken a lot of times, you can't blame them for doing so...but sometimes it's better to give up rather than keep getting hurt.
