I'm very sorry to hear that you are going through this. No one should feel like they are a burden to the ones they love (I sadly went through this aswell, but not my ex calling me a burden, but me calling myself a burden). Also...it really sucks having to go through this push, and pull situation. It sounds like to me he is only willing to help, support or listen to you when it is convenient to him. You should always be honest with each other. Even if it is getting too much...then atleast be honest, and should tell you where he stands. This isn't your fault. It's just life throwing curve balls at you. Still sorry to hear your boyfriend is being like this to you, though.

What your going through sounds hard. At some point you will need to talk calmly and honestly. Good relationships are built through strong communication, which means really working on talking without a burst of emotions from either side. Try going for a walk and talk on a day where you both are more calm.

@Sofia_123456789 I very much relate to you. I'm also a very talkative person, and quite an emotional person. Also...have you tried talking to a therapist? Maybe they can help you by telling them what you are going through (since it can very much help to talk to someone who is specialized in these type of topics) so you won't feel like you put all of your ''burdens'' on your boyfriend. I have done this too when I was still together with my ex. I still did tell him things when it was important, but I had a therapist where I could actually get help from without putting it all on my ex. It can help for the both of you. Since it can create more of a space so both of you can breathe for a second. Atleast...that's the type of advice I can give since I did go through something somewhat similar to yours. Sorry to hear it though.

I put ''burdens'' like this so it doesn't feel like it is wrong to have these. I hope you understand what I meant by that

@Sofia_123456789. I'm glad to hear it got resolved in time. Also it's good to hear that you do have a therapist to talk to. No problem. I'm always open to help. I wish the both of you good luck!

@Sofia_123456789 You are entitled to your feelings, and emotions. No need to apologize. I am glad to hear it by the way. And yeah you are right
