This instinct is so strong if you already have abandonment issues. Women tend to take the extreme bad from past relationships and overlay them onto their current one. This is predictably disastrous as you can imagine. I suppose this is why the less than 15 body count guideline Vox has put forth is helpful. It would be incredibly difficult as a woman to have experienced that much "betrayal" and maintain emotional continence.

Years ago, I spent a lot of time going through a blog (the feminine woman) on how to be more high value feminine and the 2 takeaways were to 1) learn to be vulnerable not needy and 2) recognize while a woman will become engrossed in her relationship, high value men only become absorbed in their job/career/mission and the relationship is just one of those things it supports. You still have the fears and worries but you can manage your reactions much better. I've found men are very understanding if you acknowledge 1) not all your feelings are valid/make sense but 2) you have them.
