I think that may be true. But what do you do when he spends time with his friends to be with a nother woman hes seeing

Hi Tyra, I agree with this. But i have a problem too. I think it's me though. My guy and I have been dating for 10 months now and every month prob maybe twice a month him and some of his friends will go out to a movie and Hooters, of all places. I know my guy is not going to do anything wrong, but i get so worried and ask myself things like, I wonder if their talking about how some girl looks there. Is he staring at them? Am i not good enough or look good enough for him? What exactly ARE they doing? I don't know why but some of these questions always pop into mind and i could almost cry at the thought of that happening. I have a fear of getting cheated on. Ive never been this non condifent! I know probably alot of girls do the same thing. I just really love him and im thinking so much i dont know what to do! Help!
