Sooooo I’ve been debating with myself if I should post this or not but since I can’t get my mind to shut up about it, here it goes

My bf and I have been talking for almost a year. We met online and started out as friends then after a few months I finally asked him to talk about our status because I couldn’t continue without knowing what we really are. We figured that we’ve been pretty much in an LDR without even realizing it. So we talked about it more, our expectations, endgame, future plans, and how soon we could close the gap permanently before deciding if it’s worth it and we both want to pursue this or not. Ultimately, we both decided to go for it.

His past relationship before me was also an LDR. I know little details about it from him because he wanted to give me an idea of how challenging it can be to be in an LDR. I shouldn’t be bothered by it but it does bother me. I can’t help but think that he’s always comparing our relationship to his past LDR in his mind and since that past relationship was unsuccessful, I’m thinking what if he also lowkey expects this one to be the same? It’s terrible and I always talk myself out of having these thoughts but they always come back. I have 100% faith in our relationship although it’s very new, but I’m unsure about his. He has never shown any sign of him believing this will not work out though but my thoughts and insecurity are still there.

Any advice to get out of this?
