Yes. I hate thoose deep and strong beliefs. "The one." Have you ever think about how the one will make you feel instead of if your bf is the one? Because for me was a game changer! I realised how high and impossible were standards I used to put for men... like the one will ALWAYS make me feels great and happy. (How that can be even possible, every human beings have bad moments, how could he not have them, and also makes me feeling good in mine???). Or with the one I will never fight. (Impossible and unrealistic.) With the one, I will always feel the sparkle (reality isn't that, sparkles comes and goes) And I can go on and on!! Thoose are all standards that are unrealistic and impossible. And thoose are the standards that fed my rocd for months! My bf couldn't keep always with thoose impossibile standars (what a news); so I question myself if he is the one! An example. For some reason, I feel angry with my bf. My mind will tell me: with the one you should always be happy, so he is not the one. You should take distance and broke up with him. But in my heart I want to stay, so hey! Loads of anxiety and depression!

I'm sorry you have to experience that... the key is not answering. And not taking decision while flaring up! I'll tell you this! Let's picture an hypothetical situation. You have a doubt right, let's say it's "do I love him enough?" You start to search for answer. Maby you check your feelings at the idea of him, you only feel anxious so you take this as a no. But then you remember how great was when you did something in past, so maybe yes, you love him. But again, you don't miss him at the moment, so ... nope! Than you would be sad; and you can't be sad for someone that isn't important for you, so yes you love him enough again!! See? For every option, you can find proofs. And you have too find proof for having an answer! So you will find an answer, but then you have to prove that this answer is true, by finding proof. But because there are proof for every option, you couldn't never be sure about an answer!! Even if you are, let's say the answer is "yess I love him enough, because I enjoy spending time with him" than more question will follow your answer !! "Do I really enjoy time with him?" "Is someone out there more enjoyable! And so on and on!! +THERE AREN'T ANSWERS FOR THOOSE QUESTIONS. "Does he really want me?" "Do I really want him?" "Will be happy together?" Etc... only future can answer!!! The only way to get out of this is to break the circle! To not answer, to accept that he could or couldn't be the one!

I'm worried I'm gonna get hurt. There is a guy I'm talking to and we plan to hangout soon. We have been talking for awhile and have talked at school. I have a few ex boyfriends, two to be exact. One turned out to be awful, but I found out early on because a bunch of women came to me with their concerns of how he creeper them out and used to send them weird messages, he also for awhile would have people message me to get me BACK MONTHS LATER. My other ex was a good guy, but extremely shy and bad with expressing feelings. It didn't feel like I was his girlfriend. That being said I now kinda assume (mainly from the awful guy) that everyone is gonna turn out to be awful and that I can't trust my judgement. This guy I got now knew stuff about ocd already, loves horror movies and art like me, loves cat, good with kids and has a little brother, he remembers little things I say and sends me pretty pictures of the sky and forests when he is out, he warns me when he is sleepy incase he falls asleep when we are texting at night, he knows alot about mental health. He is everything I could want and I just can't believe it's real, that someone like this exists and out of all people LIKES ME. My brain is telling me he could secretly be racist or homophonic or a rapist and I just don't know. My friend who barely knows him and has never spoken to him before but is good at reading people says he is 9 out of 10 percent sure he isn't any of those things. which considering they have never talked or anything it's good. But idk I don't trust myself. I'm scared he will crush my heart. I went through his following on insta to look for people of other races and sexualitys. He follows a girl who is a friend of a friend of mine who is gay, the smosh account and Ian Hecox, he follows Good Mythical Morning and Link (idk why not rhett), and I once joked that I was better then him and he said we are all equal and has said things like he doesn't Haye anyone we were all babies once and stuff like that. I wanna trust my self and my friend but idk.

I don’t know if I love him. I don’t think I do. I want to. I want to so fucking bad. I loved him. Before this I loved him so deeply we were such a good match but lately. Maybe just the past month were either fighting or not talking. Ik all couples go through rough patches. But this feels more. I wanan work through this. Ik all the problems are my fault. The jealousy, the resentment, the anger. It’s all on me. I’m the problem. But idk how to fix it. Idk how to stop being mad when he talks abt spending time with his friends. Idk how to stop being sad when he leaves to hang out with them. Idk how to not cry myself to sleep when he wants alone time. I wanna be with him. I want this relationship. But the good is so few and far between. The laughter and smiles is so fleeting. So much of my time is spent wondering if he hates me or if I hate him. I don’t wanna hate him. I wanna build a life with him. I see a future with him. But idk if I’ll ever truly be happy with him cuz of my jealousy and the fear I don’t love him. I try. I try so hard. Ik love is a choice not just a feeling but it’s so hard to make that choice when my brain tells me he wouldn’t make that choice. When I feel like he hates me and I’m boring him. When I’m insecure I feel so mad and angry that I can’t love him. I can’t feel any good feelings I’m just mad. And I hate it. I want us to be happy but I just know he likes being around them more. I just know I’m a chore to him. And I hate it. I love him. I love his beautiful face and his laugh. I love when we’re happy and good. And ik relationships require sticking it out through the bad. But I feel so guilty and so mad at the same time. I think abt are future and this pit is in my stomach and idk if it’s cuz im rlly anxious rn cuz i feel like he doesn’t love me or cuz i really don’t wanna be with him. I wanna be with him. I want him so fucking much. And I care abt him. But the constant questioning of my feelings and his feelings is driving me crazy. Idk what’s real and what’s fake. This relationship feels doomed and if it is idk if I’m gunna be able to handle the breakup. I love him. I care abt him. I want us to be together forever. I wanna grow old with him. But idk how to stop the bad feelings. How to stop the anxiety and anger. I just wanna love him and he love me. I pray for it every night and I try to be a good person but I’m so jealous and scared I keep ruing it. Idk what I want from this. Reassurance ig. Like can our relationship survive what’s happening? Is there a way to get better? To stop being jealous of him doing things without me. I don’t wanna become a bitter hateful gf. I just want us to be together and happy. Ik love is a choice not just a feeling. Ik you have to choose your partner every day even when you don’t want to and it sucks. But I’m so tired of feeling this. I can’t live like this for the rest of my life. I wanna be happy in this relationship. Ik deep down he’s the one for me. Ik I’m where I’m supposed to be when I’m with him. But idk if I truelly love him or if I’m just scared of losing all that we’ve built. Idk. Has anyone been where I’m at and if so how did you get through it? How do you get through the constant worrying abt both yours and your partners feelings?
