Hello,
My boyfriend has GAD. We've been together 7 months, and I have been very understanding and supportive; I've done research, and we've talked through many issues. He's on meds, and sees a psychologist and psychiatrist.
The problem I'm not sure we can get through is his lack of trust with me. I was handling his jealousy ok, but now there's another issue on the table that's making it difficult.
I made the mistake of telling him i had a boyfriend 20 years ago who was a heroin addict. This set him off looking for track marks on my arms. He had a friend who died from an overdose several years ago. Now he looks at me with disappointment and distrust.
I don't know what to do. Is this something that will work itself out? Is there anyway of getting him to move on? It is frustrating to be constantly doubted.
Any advice will be appreciated!
