    Default Trust issues

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    Not sure if this is the right place for this but I do not know where to go for help. I have serious trust issues which emanated from my childhood. I have had a previous thread in which i suspected my wife of having an affair, and during the aftermath discussion i brought up about my childhood experiences, which she seemed to take on board. She denied an affair, but I have been worried sick ever since. I cannot talk to my wife who admits to being very selfish, as she just says 'here we go again' and 'change the record'. Her mobile is welded to her at all times and she takes more care with her appearance when going out with others than when going out with me. I have mentioned this to her but she denies it. i have even noticed her wearing her best underwear for when she has 'managers' meeting at work (she takes them off and leaves them beside the bed when undressing, so i can see when I get up in the morning. I'm not rooting in linen baskets!!)It has got to the point where i am making myself ill with worry every time she goes out (weekly Salsa class and maybe once/twice a month with the girls who go to dance bars till 2am).
    I do not know who to turn too for advice. Should i ask her sister/mother/friends about this.
    Help.

    I guess I'm not sure what it is that you expect her to say? You've obviously brought up time and time again that you're worried she's cheating, and she's told you she's not. What do you want from her? What is it that she can specifically do to make you stop worrying, and have you expressed this to her?

    As for the clothes, I'm not even a little concerned. I go out once a month or so as well with my girlfriends, and I'll admit I get MUCH more gussied up for the girls than I typically would for my fiance on a night out. It's just a fun thing for us girls to do - get dressed up to the nines and go out dinner and dancing the night away. And yes, that typically involves the "nice" undies as my nicer undies have better support and look better under my dress than my regular, everyday underwear does (On a side note, if your wife was cheating on you, there's a good chance she would hide her underwear from the night out). In no way, shape or form do I cheat on my fiance when I do this, and might I add, that he goes out with the boys once in a while as well, and I have zero fear that he is cheating on me.

    I'm not a big fan of the comment that you've got trust issues with your wife because of your childhood. I can imagine you probably came from a rough upbringing that has left some emotional scars which I can sympathize, but you're an adult now and have the ability to seek treatment for that trauma. Instead, it seems you're somewhat "stuck" and are using it as an excuse to doubt the fidelity of your wife. What reasons you've mentioned about why she might be having an affair (going out, dressing up, and keeping her cell close) are circumstancial at best.

    I am sorry to hear you have had a Bad or Difficult Childhood. I'd bet that over 75 % of the posters on here, have had what we consider a Bad Childhood, and Many have had Very Traumatic ones.

    But as KMonte said, we are adults, we cannot Blame things on that, we can however seek to understand how we behave because of it, how we can change ourselves and reactions, so we can enjoy a loving close relationship with someone.

    The past is the Past, we cannot change it. But we can adjust, we can learn from it, we can protect ourselves and others from going thru the things you did ( that allot of us Did ).

    And like KM also said, Women Dress up more for Women. The ones who dress up for Men, in General, Not all, are usually on the Market and Free to get the attention of Men. Some women Dress to the Hilt when with their Boyfriend or Hubby, especially in the New Stages of a relationship.

    When you say " She takes care of herself more when going out with Others than with you " Where do you and her Go ? Are you going to Home Depot or Sears or a Grocery Store ? Are you going out to eat at a all you can eat Buffet or Olive Garden ?
    It does matter where you go together. I'm sure if you made Dinner Reservations and a Nice place, with Table Cloths and Candlelight , She would dress up for you and for the Evening. You could even suggest she wear ( name an Outfit you think she looks Hot in ) and even suggest she wear her Sexy Panties, so when you get home after your Romantic Dinner, that you can Help her take them off .

    Maybe offer to learn the Salsa Dancing yourself, It is a Very Sexy Dance. It makes a Woman feel Sexy when she Acquires the Skills. It also is very hard work and an excellent Workout to keep fit.

    The Mobile or Cell phone, always Close by, is these days very Normal.

    1) They cost a lot, most have a 2 year contract.
    2)If lost, they cost to Replace
    3)They are the replacement for the old Paper Phone Books ( Numbers listed )
    4 )They are an Near "Instant Communication" with Friends, Family, Co Workers,.
    Bosses.

    If I lost My Cell phone, I'd go Crazy.. As long as she's not Hiding it or Texts or leaving the room when she gets calls or Texts. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Her Sexy Underwear, Great Idea for a Christmas Present this Year, Get her something and tell her " This is Our Special Outfit ".

    What do you do Hun , for yourself or for her ? Do you work out or lift weights or Play Basketball, Tennis, Baseball, Run or ride Bikes. Do you keep yourself Fit and Attractive to her ?

    Do you have a Hobby? What do you do on her Girls Night Out ? Maybe you can join a Club or Gym or do something you would enjoy, a Guys Night Out. So you aren't sitting home thinking she's out Cheating .

    Finally she said she is Not Cheating on you .. Accept that. So she leaves her Underwear for you to see. If she was worried or Sneaking, she'd throw them in a Basket or in the Washer.

    I knew a Lady who as soon as she got home, her Controlling Hubby had to Smell her Underwear to see if it smelled like Semen or " Ladies Cum ". Don't get to that point in your Relationship. Get Help if you cannot discuss things.

    You will Lose her if you accuse her when she is Innocent. She will take only so much and will find someone who Trusts her .
    You also will Lose yourself, if you continue to Mistrust her, or any other person in your life.


    I wish you the Best.

    Sorry about the " Novelist " Post, I have very little time on here these days . And so many Interesting Topics ..
