I could relate with each sentence you wrote. But it's difficult. I have tried to bring that implicit trust back & have been betrayed again. So I really doubt how things will pan out now. But your last line has been added to my notes :)

I can relate to this too well. I consider myself as an anxious person on the anxious avoidant continuum.

Being cheated on in the past by my partners has definitely left an imprint on how I process things with my current partner. I constantly feel that I don’t want to end up being betrayed and hence I want to know everything.

Lately I have realised it is possible to share a life with someone and yet not know everything about them. I want to try and try to let go of this suspicion and give him benefit of doubt and I have a long way to go.

The last line where you mentioned about not being paranoid makes so much sense
