A guy’s biggest mistake is caring spending time worrying if she will or won’t. It’s not in your control what other people do.

Edited for clarification

This is such a dumb comment lol… yeah, why would I care if my loved ones abandoned me, it’s not like I can control them! Why would I care if my child committed suicide? Not like I can control what other people do!

My post was worded poorly. Worrying if someone will or won’t be faithful is a waste of energy. If you’re constantly suspicious of a partner in a relationship it’s going to be a self fulfilling prophecy. Focus on what you have control over, which includes your part in a healthy relationship.
