RomanceClass.com AdviceOh I know what you mean! It's hard to let go of old hurts and move on to a renewed relationship. Keep in mind that you've been together for longer than the average marriage lasts, so that should have some comfort. Perhaps when you get married it will ease off as you hear him devote himself to you. In the meantime, you could practice answering the jealous thoughts and feelings with reassurances to yourself that he's yours, he has been yours and you have reason to trust him now. Feelings don't change until you give yourself other ways of looking at it... so find ways to remind yourself of all the good qualities and reasons why he would be faithful.
Good luck!
