What can I do to overcome some abandonment issues?

In the past, I've had several boyfriends. With some of the more meaningful ones, everything would be going great and then they'd break it off out of the blue.

I've gotten over the painful breakups, etc. but I have to admit that after it happened a couple times, I can't help but to get afraid that my current boyfriend will do the same thing.

This might sound silly, but I know in my heart, without a doubt, that he is the one. And the feeling is mutual.

We've been together for a while now and everything has been perfect.

I guess when I'm laying in bed and can't sleep, I just worry that he'll randomly change his mind, that something will go wrong, and that he'll leave me.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue? Logically, I'm quite sure this won't happen (my other boyfriends had some severe emotional problems that took a toll on me, but this one is "normal") and at the same time, I'm emotionally terrified of being abandoned by him.

    If you want to overcome deep issues like abandonment, you should go to a therapist. They can help work things out with you and give you suggestions as to how you can overcome these issues. It will take time.
