kellyxxx agony auntBeing hurt in the past is no reason to be a cheater! My boyfriend has been hurt in the past and there is no way that he would cheat. There must be underlying issues. If you are having trouble finding a counsellor then I would be willing to work with the both of you. It would be a slow process over msgs on this site but I check msgs regularly and I am very prompt to reply. X

jessica04 agony auntAre either of you a member of a church? a lot of time you can seek counsel from a pastor/ priest who will have experience guiding you through these kinds of things.

As far as his relationship with your son is concerned, I would take some space from him (if this is financially possible) so that if things do end up going poorly and you two break up, there will be less of an impact on your son. I think the reason so many young couples still have problems with trust is because they invest so much so quickly (moving in too soon, promise rings, kids), and being distrustful is the only way they can guard against losing all they put into the relationship.

That's just my two cents.
