I'm nearly 19 years old and i have a terrible problem with being insecure/not trusting. I grew up in a broken home so I have no personal real life example of a good relationship (terrible relationship with dad, brothers are no good, etc).

 

I've dated quite a bit and I'm definitely not trusting so i never fully give myself away, and i accuse guys of cheating, i get overly jealous, and I know it's not right and it's a way to easily break apart a relationship (in which all my relationships ended because i find that i cannot handle strong feelings without being too jealous).

 

i know this is a big issue. I am now interested in someone who is also interested in me, and this is happening a few months after a traumatic death in my family has occurred. I feel like it's time i change my ways so i can find someone i can lean on on times like this, and i really like this guy and i dont want to lose him like i've lost everyone else.

 

overall, how can i get over my jealous/insecure ways? like for example, if i find out hes not a virgin, i get so jealous.

 

and i know it's wrong. it's not like i get angry, i just keep everything to myself and it builds up and eventually i just have to break it off

 

I apologize for making this seem like a teen-thing, but it's not. I really grew up in a broken family with an abusive dad and I've had a lot of personal issues, that has caused me to become reserved and closed off. Any tips?

You need to get some therapy before dating again. You have unresolved issues you need to address.
