Afraid of the future

Me and my gf are in a great relationship and we have been together for a year. We are still crazy about each other.

I know im inlove and im with the only girl that means something to me. We share every thing together, we talk about every thing together, we cant live with out each other. I am 17 years old and we are both just so right for each other.

I read the threads about how relationships tend to low, but i know with this girl i could never stop this feeling. I am as close to her as i ever could be with some one, I love her more than anything in the world and would do anything for her. I m afriad of what the future has to come.

I am very over protective with and gets very jelous, i cant help it. She is the same with me. She goes Uni next year in my home town (Which is good)

I know as time goes guys will try it cause she is such an amazing and attractive girl, this what scares me the most. I know my jelous will be of the roof, Cause i cant control my over protectiveness over her. And possibly her feelings could while meeting other guys, clubs, etc and that sort of stuff.

I dont know what im trying to get across here.

To be honest if i ever split with my gf i would seriously end my life. I cant see a future with out her.

The more i think about the future the more im scared to be inlove. I could never love another person as much as i love my gf now. If i was ever to be heartbroken i couldnt take the pain of going through another relationship. I could just cry thinking about it. I dont want to be with out her.:frown:

Well you might not have to be, so stop thinking about the "what ifs?" If anything puts a strain on the relationship it'll be your jealousy and doubts that you might not be together forever! Do you trust this girl? If so, then you should trust her enough to know she wldnt cheat on you, even if other guys did try it on with her. But if you get all angry about it then it'll just cause problems and she'll probably feel claustaphobic because you're smothering her in love and all that to reassure yourself she wont leave you. So basically, what i'm trying to say is, enjoy the way you feel right now and take each day as it comes. Don't ruin the future by thinking what could happen....Can i also suggest that it's not very healthy to be entirely dependent on someone else and that you may feel you cant live without her, but you should have some kind of independence that wld allow you to survive if anything unfortunate did happen?

try talking to her about all of that. she will be able to reasure you better than anyone on the internet can.

Everyone feels like that.

The truth is, no matter how strongly you feel, you will slowly begin to decay and grow more distant as time goes on (usually starts to occur around the 1 and a half - 2 year mark). Additionally with maturity (or jadedness) the feelings of jealousy will begin to be less strong, though they will never go away and will become a destructive feature of your current and future relationships.

Thus is life.

P.S. It will really suck when you break up and will be the most painful experience of your life so far, so be prepared.

If you love her and she loves you that much then why cant you trust her. Every guy or girl is protective and possesive about their partners, they just learn to deal with it.

I do trust her , and yes we are both very dependant on each other were really bad. I know i should be taking it as it comes but i cant get it out my head i just cannot loose this girl!

don;t think about the future take it a step at a time

Read this twice, OP: The only way to predict the future is by visualising what you want it to be and then creating it.

So if you sincerely want a trusting relationship, then roleplay it without telling her - fake it 'til you make it. And if she fluffs her lines, get a new co-star.

Jealousy begets a vicious cycle. Trust her now, unconditionally, and your misgivings will resolve themselves.

If she abuses that trust, she isn't the girl for you. If, on the other hand, she doesn't; your relationship will only ever improve exponentially.

Firstly, how long have you been with this girl?

I felt that way about my bf too until he broke up with me just to get back together with me. I did actually go through a short phase of "I don't care if this car runs over me". But that's stupid. It is stupid to die over some guy, or some girl, in your case. I know she's not just "some girl" - but I'm just trying to put things in perspective.

Another thing to think about - you two should NOT constantly be jealous! Why should you be jealous? Don't you trust her? Doesn't she trust you? So why are you jealous? I think this is an issue you've overlooked. Over-protectiveness is NOT a good thing. Protectiveness is, overly so, no. What then are you gonna do when your gf makes guy-friends? Get jealous every time she hangs out with them and make yourself insecure? You gonna ban her from having guy-friends or are you gonna freak yourself out every night she goes out with them? A healthy relationship should NOT be like this. Don't be so blinded by your emotions and think logically - a healthy relationship should build each other up in trust and in safety - it should not make you insecure and why be so very jealous if you're not insecure, if you do trust her?

Now my final point - say you sort out your jealousy issues and you still realise you can't live without her. Start talking about marriage then. Find out if you two are right for each other for life and not just for as long as you're 17 and relatively immature (I'm not calling you immature, I'm just saying the maturity of a 17-year-old is very limited). And then if you're sure, though you are still young, ever thought of proposing to her? You never want to lose her - so I shall take it you wanna grow old and die with her. So ask her to marry you. Then you won't have to worry about losing her.

wow there are some cynics in this forum


optimists are fantasists
pessimists are realists

I've been with my gf 2 1/2 years now and whilst i love her its not with the same all consuming passion i did at the beginning.

OP tbh you sound scary your behaviour borders on obsessive.
And why dont you trust her? If you trusted her you wouldnt be jumping to conclusions every time some guy looks at her. So what if guys hit on her, it doesnt mean shes going to jump into bed with them

Lighten up or youl lose her, no one likes someone breathing down her neck 24/7

Laika has a very good point and its very true

Thanks for the advice that was great! I know my jelous is bad and i do trust her 100% Its really nothing to do with that its just i dont trust the surrounding. Like reading loads of threads about how relationships tend to die out eventually or how your gf cheats on you and stuff like this. I know i should losen up . We have been together a year and she has changed me completely in such a good way and i thank her for that. I not as clingly as you think, shes more of the clingy 1 but i love it. Im just afraid how it will all turn out at the end. Is it just young love? Is it just first love? I want her to be the 1 i grow old with and have chilidren with , We always talking about this sort of stuff. But then again were only 17 i could carry my whole life with her and she probly could as well. But she starts Uni next year, i hear so many stories about how relationships dont last and how indviduals can change completely when going to uni.

To understand her is to understand me,
Just look at my life, and its her you'll see

Cause thats how close we are.

She talks with me
She walks with me
She's holding me
And yes, shes teaching me
Everything i can't do
Everything i can't say
She does for me
She prays with me
She cries with me
She's loving me
Nothing could compare to the love we share
So that woman and man
Who understands
You can say:

Heart to heart
Breath to breath
She fills me up til there ain't none left
No space, no time
Her spirits my mind
You see, that's how close we are

Yeah so dont throw it away over jealousy issues! Yeah some people break up when they go to uni but if you and her are meant to be, then you're meant to be. Stop worrying and appreciate what you have!

i agree, hearing words from the person you love is more meaningful than someone over the internet lol
