Boyfriend said he doesn’t trust me?

Anonymous

We started hanging out as friends and I had told him I was in a relationship. He said if I was happy I wouldn’t be hanging out with him, how I should sleep with him etc. So after a few times of hanging out he pulled me on his lap and I told him I wouldn’t kiss him but I ended up giving him a peck. I left my boyfriend after this because I had been unhappy for some time. I ended up dating the guy I cheated with. Now he had other relationships that caused him to have commitment issues because in many he got cheated on. We’ve been arguing lately because he has a drinking problem and I told him to get help. So last night he got upset and held me down and pointed out all my problems and how I don’t need to talk about his. For Christmas Eve he got drunk with a friend and didn’t call me like he said, then on Christmas Day same thing, he was supposed to come over but didn’t because he drank. He called me in the morning and I texted him I’d call him back in a few minutes and when I did he didn’t answer. He messaged that he’d call me later. He called me at dinner time to say he can’t come because he’s drunk while I waited hours for a call or text. I asked him why he couldn’t just say that he won’t come through call or text. He said he didn’t tell me he wouldn’t come over Christmas Day because I don’t answer his calls (if I’m busy I text him that I’ll call him later, or if I can’t answer). I was blaming the drinking but it seems he was just being hurtful on purpose. Then said he doesn’t trust me because I cheated on my ex with him.

It’s been 5 months now, and I’m not sure how I can get him to trust me and he doesn’t know how long it’ll take for him to trust me. Any ideas what I can do?
