insecurities after breakup

hi,


i have been with the most wonderful person for over a year now, but even since the very beginning i have really bad insecurities that she is going to go off me, or find someone better.  just little things like if i dont get an email i was expecting i worry that she has gone off me in someway or realised that she might not love me!! i think it all stems from my last major break up where i took it badly and felt so cheated.  it doesnt help that i am working abroad at the minute and will not be back for another month.  she tells me she never thinks things like this and all i seem to do is make her annoyed because she thinks i worry about so much stuff.


 


just some ideas on how to stop feeling so insecure when deep down i know i dont need to, everytime after i have been on the phone and had an arguement i feel so angry with myself for making things so bad!!


i know she loves me so why do i end up pushing her away, cos one day i will push her away too far


any ideas appreciated greatly


xx

Breakups are hard, believe me.  I looked all over for advice and finally found a cool book that shed some light on things and turned it all around for me.  It's "From Heartache to Happiness:How to recover from a breakup and find success in relationships".  Great stuff..thought I'd pass it along.  Hope it helps.

Be kind to yourself and take each day as it comes. Try hard not to over-think, over-analyse or second guess how your partner is feeling. Does she know how worried and upset you are about this? I think you need to talk to her.

I really hope this helps, take it easy x x x
