I enjoy being with her and for the most part things are going well.
We are both 23.
However, my girlfriend has trust issues.
I have never (nor will I ever) cheat on her, but I know she has been cheated on in previous relationships. Probably part of the reason why she has trust issues.
I have quite a few plantonic female friends.
My undergrad and current grad programs are mostly females so I spend time with these females because we study together or hang out together after class.
One of my best friends is Emily (who has a boyfriend).
My girlfriend won't meet Emily and it bothers me.
Emily and I are super close and even though she has a boyfriend my girlfriend thinks it's "sketchy" that I have a close friend who is a female.
Funny thing? My girlfriend has platonic male friends.
I think its kind of hypocritical.
Whenever I go out with my guy friends for a "guys night" my girlfriend will say "don't do anything I wouldn't do" or "don't have sex with any girls." I have reassured her that I don't want to be with anyone else so many times.
I don't know what else I can do to make her trust me.
Also, the fact that she is so untrusting makes me think that she is the one that is being "sketchy" or whatever. (Am I thinking too much about it?) Like maybe she doesn't trust me because she knows she is the one sneaking around (and is afraid I am/will do the same). Regardless, all of this trust drama is driving me insane.
Thanks for the help!
