Just because the other women in his life would easily take your place does not mean he himself would replace you with any of them. And has he been diagnosed with avoidant attachment disorder if that’s a disorder but has he been diagnosed properly or are you diagnosing him? He may naturally be a bit of a loner personally I find loaners much more attractive than men who run in groups especially large ones 🤷🏼♀️
I had a similar problem when I started dating my current bf. I would get really anxious and sad when he didn't reply or we didn't see another. But I don't have that anymore and I've learned to give him space and be okay with that. It's a process. I think if you communicate it well with him by telling him how you feel you will come a long way. I think breaking up just because not every aspect is perfect isn't going to make you happy in the long run, no one is perfect and no one will be the perfect partner for you. But with that said, if you truly feel unhappy and have tried everyhting then it's your decision to see if that's what you want. If he's not treating you with respect and compassion then you deserve better 😊
I also feel when you have anxious attachment you are also likely to have low self esteem and codependency issues, they all function together to make you an anxious mess who is also clingy. Who knows this might not be you but I know when I an feeling extra insecure in myskef it’s when I want him more. The thing is, your partner ir relationship will never make you fully happy and this is the mantra i’m going ti live by now. Imagine hiw you would he without him? How would you cope? If you feel you couldn’t you need to start being more independent
Hi! I don't think I have a low self esteem problem, also because I know without him I wouldn't have problems to find a new bf, or even to stay by myself. I simply don't like and don't want the idea of loosing him. I feel really good about who I am/become; I would define myself pretty, I like how I look etc. I have a lot of confidence too! But thinking about him, some of his behaviour make me feels like if i'm no one for him, and that probably make me question my values and my self esteem... is that possible? And most important, in that case, should I do something about being confident "even if he does that" or should he stop doing thoose behaviours? (There's no abuse, phisical or insults, sometimes he ignores me/gives more attentions to other women etc)
Pls help me My boy is super expansive with all the girls. He said that he don't want to flirt with them, that it is just his personality. I have a quality time love and it is super hard for me to see him give a lot of attentions to other girls... It makes me feel so unspecial, just one of others... I don't know what to do... i feel so much pain right now because of this, and I'm about to asking a pause; I don't know If it is the right chose, or an rocd compulsion, but I don't want to keep being hurt like that... what should I do??
I’m entering a new relationship and am so so scared. Is it ROCD or am I having realizations that maybe we’re just not compatible? I really really like this person but I’ll just wake up with thoughts like “omg he’s not super affectionate and he’ll never be that - I want someone who is” and then just start spiraling. I’ve had other thoughts like - He’s not it. - I’m settling. - I don’t feel like he’s asking me questions, we’re not getting vulnerable. - I think I like him. - What if I don’t like him? - Maybe I don’t really like him. - What’s the point of continuing this if I already know it’s not going to work? - Do I know if it’s not going to work? I don’t know? - Why do I get so anxious when I have this thought? It must mean that my intuition is telling me it’s not going to work - I have conversations with other people that are easier Please help, is this OCD or am I just denying my own basic needs in a relationship and staying in it because I don’t want to hurt this person? Can anyone relate to these thoughts at all?
I continue to get distressing thoughts surrounding my love for my boyfriend and if we are going to work out and are meant to be together because he is of different religious beliefs, and I grew up hearing that doesn’t work in relationships. We have been together nearly two years. I know I love him, and he supports my beliefs and I support him, we have had conversations about it. but my brain goes through intense periods of hyper focusing on the anxiety surrounding it, making me feel like I am going to hurt him, or we are going to break up because of me and our differences. It’s very distressing and I ruminate a lot about him and try to calm myself down by thinking through the situation, a mental compulsion? I know worrying about your partner is normal but I feel like I hyper fixate on the compatability between us and me hurting him and I don’t know if it’s ROCD or if it means we aren’t compatible. It’s upsetting.
