Idk what to do
I am in a relationship, have been for about 7 months. He has trust issues. We have agreed to work through them. I have not cheated on him but I do talk to my guy friends about our relationship issues because I can’t be at home alone with these negative thoughts in my head because I have anxiety myself. And I need to vent to people I know & trust. Some of these guys are my exes & my boyfriend doesn’t like that I talk to my exes still & are still friends with them. He would ask about what I would say & I’ll lie to him about it because I don’t want him upset with what I say. I don’t talk bad about him, I’m just venting about how I feel with certain things & I just feel very horrible about lying. I don’t know what else to do. I know I didn’t do anything wrong but I just hate the feeling of lying. But I know I didn’t cheat on him.
i can’t speak for your boyfriend. But as someone who has extreme trust issues and anxiety myself, may I suggest something. This is something my gf tells me all the time. But being open about how y’all are feeling to each other is the number one thing to keep a relationship going. You can’t hide things from each other, because those things will eventually come to light and it’s going to hurt the both of you. I recommend talking to him about how you feel and work things out together. I believe in you and I truly wish you the best of luck.
