Hi,
I made this account because I'm looking for some advice.
I've been in a relationship with this girl for 6 years (we don't live together), the problem is my girlfriend has a lot of personal issues/baggage.
This hasn't been a problem for me untill a while back.
She was at some random point too afraid to talk to me or to meet me, she avoided me for 2 months. (this happened because of her low self esteem).
Those two months I tried and tried to get in contact with her I tried to be there for to consult her etc. This didn't help untill I had enough of it and told her I was thinking about breaking up because if she isn't able to speak with me the relationship was kinda doomed.
That made her change her mind because she doesn't want to lose me. She still loves me I know that.
We're now like 6 months later she still talks to me but I still have doubts about our relationship, I love her so much but I'm afraid we won't be able to have a normal relationship with her baggage. She already tried professional help but they gave up on her after trying to help her for a year..
And besides all those problem I started to get jealous, my girlfriend was Always superclose with her ex-boyfriend. It never bothered me untill the point she was to afraid to talk to me. Then i kept on thinking "is she really afraid or is she falling for her ex-boyfriend??".
I already told my girlfriend I was jealous but she just keeps on telling me they are just friends and nothing will ever happen between them.
I don't know what to do at this point, I didn't tell her about my doubts because that's not something I can just tell right.. That will make her doubt as well.. and my jealousy is still there. I don't want to be the jealous boyfriend with doubts. I want the relationship to work, I want a future with her.
Does someone have some advice for me?
ps.: sorry for my crappy english and the long text
