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.

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.

Then your learning to live with insecurity. I wouldn't want to live that way, but hey, if it's easier than fixing the core issue...have at it!

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