Fiancee Doesn't Trust Me

I've always quarreled with my fiancee. All because of other girls.

I know that I used to go after pretty girls while I was with my first to third steady girlfriends. But I assured my fiancee that that was long time ago. I mean she don't trust me. Please do help me. I really love her!!!

I'm like an ex-convict. No one would believe in me again. Here I try to change, and here my own fiancee have this doubt on me. What should i do?

We've been engaged for three months, and known each other for 2 years.

Dear Helper says:

I sense your frustrations for change and regrets over past experiences. Your expectations of trust and understanding from your fiancee may be too high. Your fiancee have already shown a certain level of trust and love for you in getting engaged. Perhaps there may be higher degrees of hurt rather than mistrust.

A better motivation for change should be for personal convictions and growth rather than to prove your love. Trust comes when there is consistency in action. Accept the fact that it takes time for trust to develop. Affirm her feelings of hurt and mistrust. Continue to assure her of your love and commitment.
