Hi everyone im new new to this so I guess ill start from the start. I didnt grow up in a very loving home always pushed to the side and watching my mother cheat on my father and my father abuse my mother so at a very young stupid 16yr old i got pregnant to escape my family. I was very much in love but was mentally and phiscally abused by this man for many years no matter how many times he hit me lied to me or cheated on me i still forgave him. When I was 25 I met another man and married although it only lasted 4 years due to my mis trusting him and cheating on him as I believed that it was ok because he would eventually cheat on me how wrong was I. I stayed single for a few years and then met the man of my dreams we had a beautiful daughter and got married he treats me like a princess and has never done anything for me to doubt him but I still do. I come out with wild accusations and stupid pathetic comments I know deep down he would never cheat but I have been so hurt and betrayed in the past not only by men but my family I feel unable to trust him. This is destroying my marriage and destroying me as well how can I trust again if I had one wish in life It would be to be able to trust again

Smile Good Morning Glenda,

Its time you gave up your past and realize you are really loved. Take the chance, life is way to short to start over again. So just keep in mind, if your husband is home every night/ day..he Loves you and chose you to be with.

Men don't choose to marry someone they don't plan to be with for a lifetime. Ask yourself when your together, does he love me? If the answer is yes..then yes, you can trust him.

You may want to speak to a therapist about your trust issues from your past, this may help you a lot to learn to love and trust again.

I feel, non-trusting just is a way to feel you cant believe you have an honest man. So please to save this marriage...get help or get a book..on trusting after bad situations. You can find a lot of books on-line or at the library..self -help books.

Caring Hugs,

Patty

Love and Peace, Patty

Hi Glenda, Welcome to the group. It's very difficult to trust if you have had past issues with trust but it can be conquered. It will take small steps and time to trust others and your husband. I do believe this marriage is worth doing all you can to make it work. Counseling for yourself might be a start to getting to the root of things and discovery how you can begin to love and trust again. I think you have to start with loving and trusting in you first. Share anytime. Rachele

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be on your back.
May the sun lie warm upon your face.
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you
In the hollow of His hand.

Hi Glanda and welcome. I think the lack of trust is your mind's way of preparing for your husband to do something to cause you not to trust him. It's a kind of self-preservation. Unfortunately, much of what we do now is based on the past, and it can be very difficult to realize that TODAY is OK. It may not have been 'yesterday', it may not be 'tomorrow', but all we've got is this moment. I agree w/ the others. I don't think you'll be able to understand what you are doing w/o some counseling to move on from the past. What you are doing will, at one time or another, cause him to do whatever you're accusing him of. And then your mind will say it told you so. But it's not what you're thnking, it's what you're doing - pushing him away. Sounds like you might have one of the few good men, and I can't urge you strongly enough to get some help before you've pushed him out the door in order to be able to say you knew he was no good. Men and women, if wrongly accused of something on a continual basis will finally say, 'I'm being accused of it. I might as well do it.' Or he could do it w/o knowing on a conscious level that is what he's doing.

We are here to support you any time. Please see a counselor before it's too late. If you coitinue, you're going to continue to marry the 'same' man over and over to be able to say you knew it.

Please look into counseling and keep us posted. We care.

Warm welcoming wishes,

Sylvia

NOTE: I can't imagine anyone is surprised that distracted driving has overtaken drunk driving as the number one cause of death on the road. Please, y'all, keep your eyes sharp when you drive. The guy in the next car could be on a computer in the dash board (whoever dreamed that up should have to watch autopsies), while the one behind you is texting. It's important to be aware of those around you. The kid who ended my second to last life was in a huge SUV and on the telephone.
