Trust is a major issue
when you are in a relationship with someone. After being cheated on for so many
times or even cheated once might make a person be distrustful in their next
relationship. Pistanthrophobia is a term used for someone is afraid and does not
trust their current boyfriend or girlfriend. This fear of not trusting your
current partner causes you to worry, doubt, and question your partner’s actions.
Not only will you question your partner’s actions, but you will also question
if he or she is telling you the truth with their words.
Consequently, this might
make you look insecure, immature, or lack relationship skills. Yet, your
partner will not understand your jealousy and anxiety caused from past
relationships. Often the person that was betrayed in the past will go to
extremes by checking on their partner’s cell phones, e-mails, and paper mail correspondence.
Dealing with Pistanthrobia is not easy and takes time to overcome it.
Therefore, therapy from a therapist or a psychologist will help immensely to
feel trust and be open with one’s feelings in a relationship.
To trust your new partner,
you must let go of your past which takes time to do. It takes time because of
the brain’s memory of how it felt when it was with the old partner. Sometimes,
a person will find another person that is like their ex which will bring old memories.
Keep in mind that your new partner might have similar qualities like your ex,
but has different feelings, different attitudes, and different personalities. Be
honest with yourself, forgive, and have an open mind with your new relationship
Take care of yourself
and let go of negative thoughts that come to your mind. Practice mindfulness,
meditation, or your favorite hobbies to help you relax. Also, speak to your new
partner and tell them about your experience. This will help you and your new
partner to understand your concerns, worries, and doubts with your new relationship.
