I 20F have been with my boyfriend 20M for 8 months. On New Years eve, I was drunk and fell asleep. He went through my phone and went in my notes app and found a list of people i had sex with.
This note was there because he asked me previously in July about my body count and i told him the number which is 8. He has 4 or 5. The following day after i told him my count, i made a note to make sure just because i was curious. I forgot to delete it. When i woke up out of my sleep he was furious and hadn’t gotten any sleep . He threatened to take my promise ring back if i was lying to him.
I was honest and explained my case and reassured him, as always, that i am with HIM and only want HIM and i show him all the time that i love him deeply. He is the first guy i actually really love on a deep level and he does good things for me and i do good things for him. our relationship is great besides the constant insecurities that he has . He said he felt like “just another number” on my body count list. My question is, how do i redirect his insecurities and is this all just for attention? (TL;DR)
