I’m a 22-year-old lady and graduate. So I’ve been having this issue of trusting any guy ever since my ex cheated. We broke up recently, but the cheating happened 2-3 years back. I stayed in the relationship till this year because I thought I’d be able to forgive and forget, but I’ve not been able to forget it nor drop it. I met someone that I’ve been seeing and it’s been cool. He’s older than me with over a decade, but I don’t mind because he brings me peace. But the problem is that I don’t trust him. I’m trying to build the trust, but it’s not just working due to my ex’s cheating. It’s honestly messing with my mental health, plus the fact that my ex still reach out to me because he wants us to work things out. I find myself replying him, but a part of me doesn’t want to work anything out. I don’t know why I cannot just block him everywhere and try to heal. I don’t even know how to heal. I don’t know what to do. Please help. Any advice would go a long way.
