Things feeling off
I am with my boyfriend almost 24/7, aside from when we’re at work or when I’m at school. Ever since we started dating we’ve spent almost every day/night together and sometimes I feel weird about it because I feel like that’s not normal. We’ve been together for close to 2 years. He’s my first partner. Sometimes I feel like I might be bored in the relationship and that worries me because I think people say if you grow bored you should leave. But also, I lost my friends right after I started dating my bf (due to me feeling like they didn’t value my friendship, feeling like my mental health was a burden to them and stuff) and it feels refreshing when I get out of the apartment on my own or when I see family and sometimes I feel bored and monotonous being inside with him all day. I don’t know if that’s just a normal reaction because I lost most of my friends and as a result he’s the person I’m around the most or if it’s a problem. Also sometimes I think he doesn’t look good. Before dating him I thought a muscular gym guy who likes economics would be literally the last person I would go for but he has all of those traits. I never was super attracted to his muscular build from the beginning until I told him that I grew attracted to it as my feelings grew for him, which I thought was true at the time but I think he’s also gained weight and he doesn’t really dress nice most of the time so I often look at his body and don’t feel a lot of attraction. I don’t even think this specifically is an rocd issue although I do have rocd I believe. Also I often don’t think his face looks that good, but sometimes I do think he looks really good and if he’s dressed in more flattering clothes I don’t feel negatively about his body. I love him so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with him But I feel really guilty about all of this and I know it’s not “normal”. I just wish I could have a normal relationship where I always feel like he looks good and where I have a high sex drive (which I don’t. I also genuinely think I’m graysexual which I’m okay with). I get these feelings on and off and I don’t want to tell him because it will break his heart and I don’t know if it’s necessary or not. I don’t want to deceive him and I want to stay with him but I feel like I’m not allowed to if I think he doesn’t look good often or if I feel this weird boredom or whatever it is about spending all my time with him. But at the same time I want to be with him this much idk it’s weird
