Is it normal that i doubt my relationship?

We've been dating for almost a year now, and at least once a week I go through these fits of doubt and I start hyper-analyzing our relationship, picking out all the reasons I don't think we should be together. I've never been in a relationship before, and there was only 1 time I ever even considered I might be in love before him and it was toxic at best. Sometimes I think this doubt is my intuition, and other times I feel like it just my innate fear of the unknown. What do you guys think? And is this normal behavior?

    I don't consider re-thinking and analyzing your relationship as a bad thing or a sign that you should not be together.

    I think that if you would be able to look at your relationship completely rational, it could be very beneficial and useful in the long-term.

    It could give you the ability to assess and judge the direction that you two are taking properly, which would hypothetically give you both the opportunity to alter the way you are acting in order to achieve what you consider fulfilling.

    The thing is, that most people in a relationship tend to obsess about being together without considering the future (career, children etc.). In this respect, I feel that a relationship is not all about passion and romance, but also about finding a partner that adds value to your life and has the same intentions as you do.

    People doubt all the time. It's normal. I wouldn't think to much into it.

    I think that most people at one time or another analyse the realtionship he/she is in. If you think you are over-doing it then you are.
