How can I get myself over this insecure feeling?
I’ve been dating the same guy for almost two years and he says he’s committed to our relationship. He has never given me a reason to doubt him. He told me he and his buddies are going away for a guy’s weekend and there will be no girls allowed. He told me where they’re going and where they will be staying. I don’t want to be a wet blanket, but I’m a little nervous about this. Like I said, he’s never given ma a moment’s worry, but the area they’re going to has bars and clubs and a jumping night life. How can I get myself over this insecure feeling?

Good for you for recognizing this is your problem and not your boyfriend’s. Any town with a population of 50 or more has a bar or a club where a guy (and a gal) can find some trouble and it won’t matter where it is if he’s looking to cheat.
Deny yourself permission to make something out of a situation where your boyfriend has been upfront. This is a learned behavior and if you don’t indulge it, it won’t become second nature. He’s told you where they’re going and where they’re staying and if he has a cell phone and is taking it with him, he can’t be much more transparent than that. He gets many points for his communication skills.
Reward that honesty with trust. Honest men don’t have much patience with false accusations. It doesn’t lead them to cheat; it leads them to leave. Kiss your guy, tell him to have a good weekend, and then spend your weekend living your life.
