Fear of husband cheating on me.
my husband has never even come close to cheating on me but I have such a huge fear of anybody breaking up my family. We have 2 little girls and it would kill me if some random girl got in between that. The worst part is that I get sick to my stomach when there is a female within a hundred feet of him who isn't hideous looking . I t seems like we can't go anywhere without me crying cause I think he might have seen a pretty girl in the corner of his eye. I'm miserable.
Hi, I'm sorry your feeling this way. I also have 2 girls and would be devastated if my family was torn apart by anyone as well. It sounds like it's really effecting you. When we are anxious or fearful about something it's usually because we overthink and dread the worst and non-likely outcomes of a situation. Try to rationalise the situation. What usually happens on a certain outcome? Has it happened before? Is it really likely to happen? Can you change the outcome or do anything to make it a positive one? I find rationalising helps with lots of situations. As you said your husband hasn't even come close to cheating so I guess researching why you feel so insecure in the first place could also help you and him understand why you feel like this.
Thanks so much. That really helped and are great points. Hopefully I can try and ask myself those questions when I start to worry. I was raised in such a strict religion where everything was bad and if a man looks at a woman he is listing which is adultery. It's just scarey because everything I have been taught tells me that men only want one thing.
