Hi,
I've struggled with insecurity in past relationships but I'm now in a really wonderful relationship with someone I'm completely in love with. She has been absolutely wonderful to me and has given me every indication she truly loves me. Recently though, I was fired from a very high-level job and it really hurt my self-esteem. I've tried to be a "man" about it, but I've noticed my feelings of self-worth were transferring over to my relationship. I started feeling that just as the job was too good to be true, my relationship would be the same and any second that was going to be swept out from under me too. I responded to this by probably being a bit too clingy and insecure, and while she's been amazingly sweet and understanding, I know that kind of behavior turns her off. I've found myself also secretly questioning whether or not she really loves me; i'll imagine signs that she's going to end it soon, just as I saw signs that I was about to fired. In that case I was right! Anyway, this girl means the world to me and I don't want to screw things up with my insecurity but I need to find a way to get over this hump. Any advice is appreciated
