It's not my first and only relationship. I had a long-distance relationship a few years back. I decided not to mention it in the OP because it wasn't physical per se. But, it came at the worst possible time in my life, a time where everything around me was crumbling. Eventually, she called me told me she just wanted to remain friends, she got a new boyfriend within 2 weeks, and continued to text/call me all while she was in a new relationship. One day I just boiled up and told her she can go **** herself, and I never spoke to her again.
Alot of my paranoia also comes from relationships I've observed around me for many years, most of which lead to infidelity and betrayal. Plus, my parents stayed together through a horrible marriage, and I don't even communicate with my dad anymore. So there you have it, a brief description of why I'm like this...
Insightful. You should probably work on this before dating anyone and definitely before settling down.

Sorry, I haven't read all the responses, so excuse me if someone already mentioned it. Since you both believe you are committed to each other, but want to experience others, why don't you look into a swingers lifestyle which isn't an open relationship. This way you get the experience you both think you need while still staying as a couple. The only thing you and your gf need to think about, is if you're both okay with each other sleeping with someone else. Many can't live with it after it happens.
Oh you're right!!! Omg I remember seeing two before I met my girlfriend and Oh, you know what? It doesn't work.

You're very young and you have a lot of issues to sort through. And I hate to say it - but honestly, if you believe that you'll never be able to trust someone and that everyone cheats and that you will never heal - then you will probably never be happy. You have to WANT to change in order to change. Nobody can make you change.

This. You are too young to give up on being mentally and emotionally healthy.

I've been emotionally unhealthy since 11
