I need assurance that he'll stick around but I don't want to freak him out!

Question - (15 December 2010) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've just recently started dating this guy about a month ago. We've been best friends for about four years. The relationship so far is going extremely well, but I have major trust issues with people.

The reason for this is simply because of my past, (For some reason I've always chosen the wrong type of guys. I've been raped twice, cheated on, and the last guy I dated went a little bit insane, and I ended up having to get a restraining order, etc.) but my boyfriend knows all of this. He's the only one I've ever really opened up to, and to be honest it scares me.. a lot.

It seems like all I ever think about these days is how he's going to leave me for someone else, someone better. It's driving me insane! Am I over-reacting? Since we're only sixteen, and I have such major issues when it comes to dating, I feel that whenever I try to talk to him about things like this I'm just being a downer. Since we're best friends, you'd think that it would be easier.. but it's not. It just makes me even more scared to lose him!

Should I talk to him about this? I feel as if I need reassurance that he might actually stick around. But at the same time, I don't want to freak him out/make him think that I'm just depressed, and I don't want to come off as clingy.

A guy's point of view on this would be awesome, sorry if it was long!

Thanks
