My husband leaves on one of his buisness trips tomorrow. He has never done any cheating to my knowledge, but I am so untrustworthy of men that I am convinced that he will. I know he won't, but I feel crazy focusing on it the whole time he is gone. I imagine horrible things that he has never done. He always checks in and understands my insecurities but how can I stop being paranoid that everyone is going to fuck me over.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Gee! Do you ALWAYS feel the same about situations such as this, or does your outlook differ from one time to the next, depending on your mood?
If the paranoia about this is always there -- and I suppose even if it ISN'T -- you would probably do well to work on your self image!!! Jealousy or constantly fearing that he will cheat on you, when he hasn't given any cause stems from insecurity on your part.
Do things that make you feel good about yourself!! Every time you catch yourself thinking that he's going to cheat on you, give yourself a reality check and try to instead focus on how much he loves you and what a good husband he is!!
Sigh. And maybe it's just how this illness makes you think. But try to keep struggling against it, just as you have been!!!
There may be a lot of jerks in the world who AREN'T trustworthy and who WILL fuck everybody over, but it's certainly not everyone.
Do YOU fuck everyone over and are YOU untrustworthy? If so, well, we all tend to judge others by ourself.
If you DON'T fuck everyone over and you ARE trustworthy, do you really believe that you are the only one who is that decent!!? There's plenty of decent people in this world!!
Trust does take a bit of a leap of faith and can be scary, but the rewards are great enough to warrant the risk!!!
Keep plugging away!!! Try not to let anything detract from the love you and your husband have for each other!!!
Take care!!!
