i had a boyfriend for 4 years. We were engaged and were in the middle of planning our wedding when one day everything changed. I found out alot of stuff that he had been lying about. First of all he had 2 kids that I had no idea even existed. he also used to be married with the mother wich ofcourse i also didnĀ“t know. When i met him he was in the middle of the divorce.. I also found out that he had been cheating on me with a "friend" of ours and that it always happened in my house whne I was at work. I also found out that he at times were using narcotics and commiting some crimes.. Anyways ofcourse this was hard for me to deal with and i finished the relationship and although he kept harrassing me for about a year i never caved in and took him back... Now to the problem. I have a new boyfriend - since almost a year back. he is the most wonderful guy in the world and I truly do love him. But i can not let myself to trust again. I know that he is not the same person.. hut if i were so wrong before - why not again with this guy.. This is something that really bothers me because i do want to trust him. he knows how i feel - this is something we talk about and somtimes he gets to take alot of crap from me - just because of my own insecurities.. Is there anyone who can give me some advice on how to let go of past events and just be happy with the guy I am with?

You have to find a way to come to peace with this on your own. It's really not fair to paint him under the same brush as your old friend. If he hasn't done anything to ever make you wonder than don't treat him as if he is guilty, it will come back to haunt you. Live your life day by day.

WOW that is crazy. It is always hard to trust a new man, exspecially after you get done with someone who has lied to you so manytimes about so many things. I have learned that it helps talking about it (of course you guys are doing that so that is a great thing) I bet already you trust him a lil more then you did before. over a little more time you will see little differences in him that will let you know that he is or is not lying to you. Sometimes the signs that something maybe wrong is right in front of our face but we never really want to see them so we ignore them and act like they do not exsist. i have also learned that if you look to hard you will not find the wrong in everything but by relaxing and trusting your own feelings as well as his you may find out alot...
