Ginalolabridga agony auntWhen you saw her with this other lad and you thought she kissed him that probably embedded itself in your head and sometimes when this happens we find it hard not to bury it or tell ourselves it was nothing i am just imagining things etc: because sometimes to face the truth and confront such things we may fear that and so it gets buried at the back of our minds only to resurface from time to time but you say also you cant remember which is a pity because you could have confronted her there and then and i am wondering why you never?

You have also had a break in your marriage where she went and got pissed one night but came back to you so you know she never did anything!

I think this incident with the lad your not too sure about has somehow stuck in your head and if nothing happened then leave it at that because all your doing is giving yourself fuel to doubt her! Once we start to lose trust with one another or anything it can be very hard to feel the same about it again so you need to try and not doubt as much see things for what they are do not be adding or putting in other stuff there and having it all muddled you will never see straight if you do that, a clear head a clear conscience! try and not go back to that time it is in the past leave it there what good is going to come out of that now? Work on the marriage to make it better and try and put some trust in there too every little bit helps and when you both can find the peace and happiness that comes from a loving relationship you will never ever allow doubt in there respect one another, be good to one another, and most of all remain true to one another all these things when placed in a marriage remove a lot of doubt i wish you well my friend.

I think in marriage its important to have trust and faith, well I also think this goes for any relationship. You love her, and she loves you, that's important to remember.

I think that unless she did something to make you not trust her at some point then you cant second guess her. Maybe you were in a relationship prior where there were trust issues, but when you entered a relationship with her, I'm sure it was important for you to let her know that you trust her.

The important thing is that she told you that she never did anything, and if i were you, id take and run with it. You want to believe every word that comes out of your spouses mouth, and even though that may be hard, its something to work towards and something that can make your relationship rise above all the rest.

Good luck though, and I really hope you work through this!

*Remember: Trust is everything, and when that's gone, you have nothing.

katatonik agony auntLet me get this straight...she possibly kissed a guy (but you evidently weren't too bothered by it at the time if she did, because you can't remember it now?)

Then, when you two were on a break, aka not dating, she went out with a friend. Well, at that point she didn't really owe you anything, as the two of you weren't together. She says she didn't don anything with the guy, and even if she had, you can't technically demand her loyalty if the two of you aren't committed to one another.

Suspicious? Maybe. But what you've mentioned here isn't really valid evidence for distrust in the present. If you have a sense that she may be unfaithful to you NOW, or has been unfaithful since you have been back together with her, feel free to trust that sense and keep an eye on her. I'm not saying hire an investigator or read her private mail, e-mail, text messages, or anything like that. Don't. Just keep an eye on her, and if something seems out of the ordinary bring it up to her and see how she responds. But I don't think it's fair to distrust her completely over inconclusive doubts that she *may* have done something six years ago. You might also seek counseling with her if there are problems with your relationship that you feel might cause her to stray. Good luck =]
