3 years ago was with this guy for 4 months. The relationship didn't last long because he was really controllable. A few weeks had gone by and I realized that the entire time I was with him he cheated on me..it hurt me to find out but the hell with him. Now ever since that relationship I find it really hard to trust, especially my boyfriend who I am with right now. I feel like it changed my perspective in life..I don't look at things the same anymore. Why is it difficult for me to believe what people say and to trust them? It stresses me out to the point where I don't know what to do anymore. I try to have some faith that maybe one day ill trust and believe people like i used to..

Am I over reacting? Please give me some advice

    No, you're not overreacting, you're adjusting your thinking according to a tough lesson learned.

    You were too trusting of the wrong person: most everyone does this at some point in their lives, you're not alone in that.

    Your lesson learned: some people cheat and betray you; fidelity is very important to you.

    Does this mean you will never trust anyone again?
    Not likely, but it *will* take you a while to regain your confidence in your own decisions about people.

    because you learn from your mistakes plus you don't want to feel that pain again.
