<human>: (Okay, so I didn't really know where to post this, but you guys seem like you're pretty experienced about relationships, so I just decided to ask here.  It's a bit long, too, so forgive me.)

My long-distance boyfriend and I were together from February to April, then he met someone IRL and broke up with me because he thought I wasn't happy in the relationship anyway.  That was mostly a failure to communicate; I had been happy, I had had unshakable faith in my love for him and his feelings for me...and consequently I was absolutely devastated.  I cut off contact, trying to heal.

Then, two weeks later, he and the new girl broke up: he really missed talking to me, and he wasn't at all happy in their short-lived relationship.  Ever since, we've been together again.

This is my problem: that unshakable faith and utter trust in him is gone.  I still love him, but I feel like I've almost..numbed myself to the emotion, for fear that it'll be betrayed again.  Since we got back together, I've had recurring dreams (nightmares, really) of him again breaking up with me because he met someone IRL.  I fear so strongly that it *will* just happen again; I feel like some animal that's been abused, that's just always cringing away even when the expected blow doesn't come.  I desperately want to trust him again, I just...don't feel like I can, somehow.  

Do you think time might help, that I just need to wait until it's been stable for long enough that I'll know my fears are unfounded?  I somehow feel that only seeing him in person again would help: actually being able to hold him and be in his arms again.  Is there anything to that?  What do you think, reddit?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Boyfriend broke up with me and then we got back together, but now I'm having serious trust issues.  Anything I can do?
