Problem is, that Im insecure to the 100th power, I always think that if my dad let his family down anyone can. I OBSSESIVELY snoop. I feel BAD when my bf doesn’t text me all day long (while hes at school and while Im at work) if for any reason hes quiet I assume he doesn’t like me. I start asking questions it doesn’t matter how many times he says there is nothing wrong I will keep asking. It is really taking over my life. If he doesn’t text me all day or stays out late for whatever reason I think the worse and I cant help but to interrogate…its really sad….because Im makin MYSELF sad while hes ok and is living his daily life normally..
Been there. I could be wrong but it sounds to me like your having transference. Your putting the fears and feelings you have towards your dad onto your new boyfriend. And the last thing you want to do is push him away. I would be honest with him about your dad and how you feel.
By doing this you will give him a "window" into your life so that he can see why you act the way you do. I would also suggest you read a book called "receiving love." It changed my life. Good luck.
