We always argue about why I have trust issues and insecurities, we end up fighting over this and he thinks its a major problem that could be a deal breaker, but he doesn't know Why am I so insecure...
should I tell him why I have trust issues and its so hard for me to act normal and have no worries, the reasons are:

1. I've never had a normal childhood, I was abandoned by my birth mother several times, who actually constantly cheated on my father with several men and exchanged sex with money..(she abandoned me, since I was 2 years old up until this moment) I tried to work things out between us but for some reason she always end up saying you re not my daughter and I don't want anything that has to do with you.

2. I got deeply hurt on my previous relationships, I got cheated
on once or twice and it broke my heart.

3.i actually got raped on my 20th birthday by an ex boyfriend... I never told anyone this and I was too stupid, because he threatened me that next time he will do it with bunch of his friends ( I lived alone so I was scared)
his face haunts me every night and its been 4 years now and am still hurt.

I never got over any of this, especially my mother issue, but am still working on it...

so should I tell him those reasons and trust him with this info, or should I just keep it to myself and overcome it by myself?

*i just need a simple Yes or No answer please..

p.s My relationship with him is pretty good, the only problem we have is the fact that I constantly worry about things...

You're still suffering from the rape and need help. If he really cared for you, he wouldn't give you such a difficult time but would try to understand you. The rape isn't really any of his business but you could tell him you have many serious personal problems. Tell him he could either be supportive of you or leave you alone. In any case, you need to seek and get yourself some help. There are many free programs to help rape victims. The rape will continue to haunt you until you get yourself some help. Please get yourself some help.

Question Asker I am but my major trust issue is the fact that I can't trust any guy anymore.. and I don't believe in happily ever after and true love anymore.. I do deep inside I just know that its not possible because there will always be either cheating or something awfull... - 18 days ago
Answerer It was a terrible thing done to you. I do hope you find a guy who is true and thus will restore your trust in men. There are good men out there who would never harm you. I am such a man but my heart is already taken. I can only wish you well. - 18 days ago
Question Asker Aww that's sweet of you, thank you, I hope I will find The Man!

Pointing out the obvious here - you didn't ask a "yes or no" question so you wouldn't understand the answer if someone just said "yes" or "no".

If your relationship with your guy is good and is not being affected by the past, you can do whatever you want with your memories. It could make you closer by telling him, but if you don't want him to know, don't tell him.

As for worrying about things, all girls do that, just for different reasons.

Question Asker Yeah I know it can't be explained by YES or NO but am that desperate for an answer from people! - 18 days ago
Answerer You misunderstand. I'll illustrate;

"Should I tell him or keep it all to myself?"

"Yes"

:D - 18 days ago
Cartiphilus Yes, all girls worry about things but someone who has been deeply traumatized as her worrying becomes a symptom of her trauma that must be treated. - 18 days ago
Question Asker Mmmmm Exactlly... - 17 days ago
Answerer If it's any help I haven't told my girlfriend of my past either. 3 of my friends died in separate incidents over 2 years. I just didn't want her to see that side of me, and I'm tired of thinking about it anymore and would rather move on. Maybe that's a more suitable answer. - 17 days ago

I would say no. You're vulnerable right now and the past is your own business that has nothing to do with him. When he knows all this about you, he could take advantage of this information and possibly use it against you if you break up. I've trust issues too but telling your whole life story won't fix it. Trust needs to be earned, not just given.

Just communicate and tell him your feelings in the relationship. If you're angry, then don't pretend you're ok etc. (well within reason lol) That kind of thing. Do you tend to go hot and cold because you want to trust someone but then you're not quite sure so you go cold again?Take things slowly in the relationship-dont rush into anything so that you know what you're doing and this will help build trust.

I think you should see a therapist. I have a bad relationship with my father and long story short this has affected my relationships. Everyone has some baggage, that's ok. But personally I wouldn't want to tell someone about something I struggle myself to deal with which obviously says its a touchy subject for me still. But the therapy will definitely help you. When I went, it was great to learn that what I was feeling was understandable and to be expected given everything in my past and present. You need to talk to someone but a professional. Friends, boyfriends and family always think they can deal with these things but I just don't think they can. They mean well but a lot of things are out of the depth of an ordinary person.

Question Asker You have a point... that's what's been stopping me from telling him because I don't want him to use this info against me everytime.... - 18 days ago
Answerer Just be in the moment with the guy and don't worry about the future.I can't shake off my lack of trust in guys-even when I try its there in bkground-so this guy isn't gona "cure" you of that. You don't have to tell him anything you don't want to. If there's a problem in the relationship just talk about it when it comes up. You need to put your own needs ahead of this guy. Get some help from a therapist and you'll be better able to deal with relationships. Don't let him pressure you into anything. - 18 days ago
Question Asker He is not pressuring me into anything, its just I've been obsessing over stuff that became annoying to him to a point that he isn't talking to me now... so I figured that my obsession over all this is because of my trust issues just like he says.. and he has no idea why....!!! although he knows that my mother left when I was a kid... - 18 days ago
