Why can't my experience be normal?
I've been with my bf for almost 2 years now. He has all the qualities I've waited and prayed for. But I've had anxiety from the start of my relationship. I worried early on that I wouldn't have feelings of love. Once I did, I told him. Ever since then, though, my feelings have come and gone, along with my physical attraction for him that fluctuates based on how his hair and beard look, and what he wears. I'm hyper focused on those things. I'm freaking out because we have talked about marriage and I know he plans to propose at some point soon and I can't make a decision because my anxiety is out of control, causing my better judgement to be clouded. I'm 38 and don't want life to pass me by because of anxiety making decisions like thus hard to make. I feel like something is wrong with the relationship, when in reality, I have an amazing man who treats me the way I deserve. This is a compulsion writing this but I feel helpless.
