Insecurity in a relationship can stem from unresolved problems in a past relationship. Examine what is making you feel insecure about your current relationship, and then be open about how you feel with your partner. In the end, you will feel better and have a stronger more resilient relationship.

Some people would say that there's no trust but from experience, I know this isn't always the case. Sometimes, you feel insecure in your relationship because of past experiences which is good and bad. It's good because you're more aware of what can happen but bad because sometimes your fears cause you to have illogical thoughts and expectations, even if you know the person wouldn't hurt you. What helps some people is to explain to their partner what happened to them and to let them know that they need their support and understanding; so for example, when you need your own space, they should respect that. It also helps some people to go to a counsellor who may also suggest that you go to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy but all this really depends on you and your situation as well as whatever is causing you to feel this way. I hope this helps and you feel better soon.

There are two main emotions in life, love and fear. To a certain extent you can choose which one you believe more in and act upon. The best chance you have of being secure in your relationship is by behaving in a loving way, developing trust. This will hopefully allow your partner to reciprocate a loving and trusting behaviour, therefore establishing a strong and positive relationship.

I have learned that being honest with myself and open with a partner or potential partner can make a big difference. If my partner does not know why I am insecure, then many misunderstandings may occur that will drag both of us down. If my partner does know about it, they may be able to help me or support me in getting help with that insecurity. So, I think open communication as well as honesty with oneself is a good first step.

I am a Christian so to stop from being insecure in a relationship, I would just trust God and that he would lead me through. Because he loves me the way I am.

Remember that love is given to all beings on the planet equally. Love binds us together, reminds us to find our hearts and forgive those who have wronged us. By letting go of expectations from your partner, you remind yourself that they're not perfect and that you cant be perfect either. Remember to love yourself and your partner.

Insecurity really is about a lack of trust-- a lack of feeling secure about one's place in, or the state of, a relationship. To build trust requires both partners; not only must your partner reach out to you to earn your trust, but you must trust your partner. You must give your partner the opportunity to earn your trust in so doing. Although this makes you vulnerable, it is a necessary part of any relationship.

You can always tell your partner about your insecurities and maybe they can help you get over it by telling you some things you needed to hear

It may be important to start by challenging your thinking to examine if your insecurities are stemming from faulty thinking or thoughts that are not based on real events.
