StayingSingle

Good Morning Everyone! Thanks Goofy, Cid, & Surfdog for replying! I agree with many of the things that you guys have said. Surfdog, you have mentioned a few things that may be true. Wrong type of guys in the past low self esteem were some contributing factors. Now I have zero tolerance for any kind of BS. More confident and knowing what I want now, it seems hard to find the good ones! haha. Especially with those ugly memories of me getting cheated on in the past creeping up in my head. I hope I didn't push away any good ones in the past 3 years. Slowly but surely, chin up, deep breath, & smile! Thanks !!

Thanks Goofy! lol I guess I did foolishly answer my own Q. I should of had the subject read "How Can I Trust Men Again?"

I'm 25 and have been single for a little over 3 years. I haven't really dated since. I have been cheated on by all my boyfriends in the past. It seems these past experiences are sabotaging my future relationships. I have been known to be overprotective, worrisome, and paranoid that my bf at the time is cheating on me. I would get into arguments where I would accuse my bf of cheating even if I really didn't know. I would search his car, pockets, cellphone and house for clues of him cheating. After repeatedly giving men in the past the benefit of the doubt, I was only let down to find that they cheated. Now when I meet someone and we start talking, I end up leaving before the relationship takes its first initial steps. I will not express my feelings in fear that I will only be setting myself up to be hurt again. Now I look at all men as cheaters even if I don't even know them. Help!
