Hi, I'm Bailey. 18. I have some sort of emotional problem and trust issues due to my past relationship and from my parents never being there while I was growing up.

I say that because that affects me today in my relationship. I have this huge trust issue. I wouldn't even say I'm emotional... it's more irrational. I've been dating this guy for over a year and a half. He has been dealing with my trust issues for about 6 months now, thanks to my father leaving my family out of no where and I finally found out he's been with this other woman for 8 years. I kind of figured. Well he's been pretty nice about it, but the other day we actually got into a fight about it.

I've been trying to fix myself and I was doing well until my period came around. Now I've been slipping with "trusting myself" to trust him. Ultimately, I know that's what it comes down to. I need to trust myself. I have no idea how to or where to begin. He said if I can't learn to trust him, he can't see us moving together. (we are/were planning to move to Texas sometime in the summer)

It's little things that trigger me. I just want to be happy with myself so I can be happy with him. How can I trust myself and let go?
