I am in my first relationship since my failed marriage (she had an affair) and am finding myself constantly worrying about losing this woman though she's given me no indications of that happening. We live together, we've taken recent vacations together, and have celebrated my birthday. We've been together for almost two years and in the last six months, it seems that I've done nothing but fret over losing her.
She is extremely understanding of my issues with anxiety and depression (both diagnosed) and has been patient and helpful. She's let me into her life and continues to keep me there. She has allowed her children and I to foster very close relationships and I know she wouldn't do that with someone who she didn't intend to be with for a long time. How do I convince myself of these logical conclusions? How do I stop worrying and start enjoying the good thing I have again? What am I doing wrong? Posted on 02/26/07, 03:02 pm |

When I read your post, I wonder if your anxiety about your relationship is worsened because you are not married. I'm not suggesting that you rush into it. I lived with my husband before I married him, but I think that the relationship was more stablized once we were married. I imagine that you would feel anxious about relationships after your marriage ended. Your ex-wife completely violated your trust. I think it would be normal to question every relationship after that. Do you think that you will marry your girlfriend?
