Abandonment

This morning I wanted to read about one of my largest life-issues emotionally, which is my fear of abandonment. I read that Fear of abandonment is heavily influenced in one's upbringing, and that can translate into adult relationships. It stems from a lack of trust that the other person will stick by you and leave you to fend for yourself. Then I started to really worry again. Was I doing that in our relationship? Jesus, I hope not. I know that she loved me and that I should have trusted her more. I know that I'd try to trust her more if I was given another chance. I trusted her completely though, so I don't know specifically what to improve. She became a part of my life in so many ways. That's what makes this so hard. Were things really destined to be this way?
