    Hi

    I found this article after going through at least hundreds of others about insecurity in relationships. But this is the first one which lists down everything that I feel. It gives me that assurance that what I’m going through…it actually does happen with others too and there is a solution to it. Other articles and tips never got my attention coz they never got my problem in first place. But this one has….and I’m hopeful that these tips will work too. And I would love to get my hands on the hypnosis download too. Thanks a lot for showing me the way!!

    I found this article very helpful. Many others on the web focus on the cause and effects insecurity will have on relationships, which frankly I know all about or I wouldn’t be online looking for help!
    The step by step break down, practical excercises and conversational tone did wonders.
    Thank you! smile

    I have found this article the most helpful yet. I am coming from a male perspective but things were looking helpless for me. I have a loving partner and a great relationship but I can tell she is fed up with my insecurities and almost walked away recently because of it. Following this advice from Mark has seemed to change my whole attitude overnight and I’m implementing the concepts straight away. My relationship was going downhill quickly and I needed to do something immediately. I was basically on my last chance. Time will only tell if this has rescued my relationship but at the very least I’m feeling really positive and I’m sure it is going to make a difference. Thanks.

    Hi,

    I just wanted to comment that this is a great article. I struggle with being insecure in my relationship as well… more or less cause of my past relationships. This article outlined exactly how I felt, including that I felt I would drive my bf away. Hopefully I can overcome this.

    This article is wonderful.

    I really liked this article and I hope it provides me with a solution to overcome my insecuritys.  Ive been going out with this girl for 4 months now and it seems that Ive just been stressing the whole time.  I want to relax and just chill out now because I really like this girl and I dont want to lose her just because I was being insecure.  If the relationship ends so be it but I would prefer it to end for the right reasons rather than my own insecuritys destroying it. 

    One question though.  Should I tell her which way I feel and let her know that im trying to do something about it?

    Hi PS thanks for commenting. Well it depends-if it is obvious that you’ve been feeling insecure in the relationship then it might help to tell her you are determined to change but if she has been unaware that you’ve felt so insecure then telling her may make her look for signs and pin everything that happens on insecurity in the future even if that’s not the case.

    Sometimes we can just change “quietly” and all people around us know is that things have improved smile

    Hope this is useful

    Mark
