Have a good talk. Even if he leaves you for good (touch wood) it's not the end of you. In fact I think it's better to know is there any future for this relationship; I'm concerned the confusion can result in insecurity which feeds anxiety, which might exacerbate the situation.

Obviously, outside looking in on limited information, it seems you have a codependent relationship with less than healthy norms.

That does seem true - I struggle with codependency and had a previous partner that was hot and cold but I never left. If this is truly what’s happening it sounds emotionally abusive and you’d be better out of the relationship.

@CSquared He’s going through a lot and has done ever since I met him. His dad died a year ago, his ex (who’s a narcissist and abused him for ten years) owns a business with him and was harassing us at the start of the relationship, he never grieved properly for his dad, then he had to move house, his own health was up in the air from previous cancer treatment he underwent himself years ago and nownbis mother has been diagnosed with cancer too. Started her treatment yesterday. He’s not coping well, he’s drinking too much and at times has said “do you think we should stop seeing each other” about 6 times. He’s admitted he worries he’s pushing me away and he’s only “temporarily” feeling low due to his mothers shock diagnosis. He text me out of the blue today at work saying “I think I might need some space” then he fell asleep for hours and I assumed it was me he didn’t wanna see, so I got super upset. I have abandonment issues because MY ex partner suddenly threw me out after ten years with no warning so I am hyper sensitive to him now. But then again he did tell me to not go back to his today after work without explaining why...a few weeks after asking me to move in? Very confused

@uwotm8 I would recommend listening to him and give him space. This means sending him a single text or leaving a single voicemail where you tell him you care about him and are available if he’s ready to talk. Then you go no contact and give him the space he wants. It’s hard and feels hurtful and counterintuitive, but giving him the space right now is best. If your relationship has a chance of succeeding long term, you need to actually give him what he’s asking for right now

@Sunrise22 Well I did then he regretted it and picked me up

@uwotm8 So there you go - giving someone space is going to do one of two things: one or both of you realizes that it’s better for you not to be together, or the person asking for space regrets it and comes back. Either one really is a positive even though it may not feel like it in the moment

@uwotm8 @uwotm8 If he’s again asking for space, I would recommend really taking this time to decide if YOU want to have a partner who is asking for it repeatedly. Remember that you’re worthy of someone who is consistently available. Everyone needs space once in awhile but asking for it and then coming back repeatedly isn’t healthy - especially when in a relationship with someone like you who is so (rightfully) fearful of being abandoned.

@uwotm8 I feel that the two of you now are in need of someone who is supportive.. it would be good for you two to be together if you could positively support each other.. but if like the above scenario..it seems like it's a challenge for him. Maybe your boyfriend is struggling.. like he feels unwell and needs to be alone and yet at the same time he wanna be sweet to you.. so he keeps swaying between wanna having distance and being with you. I'm not suggesting that you two are not suitable for each other which is dependent more on character than current personal health.. but you two might truly want to consider taking a break from the relationship.. then when both feel better then re-evaluate whether to continue with the relationship.

S-so uhm my bf (?) and I have been a little distant and his spotify yesterday was the same where it says that he's my future husband, and today, it was changed. L-like, i-is he g-go-gonna break up with me??? I'm so scared I'm nauseous and I don't want this stress to cause another seizure, but also kinda don't care at the same time because it would ha-have to be my fault??

My terror seems like it's become a reality. Last night when I asked him if he loved me (we both used to do that before he became really distant), he said he'd think about it. I thought he was joking, but when I checked to make sure, he just said "Good night." L-like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?? Anyway, cried for a good hour/hour-and-a-half while hurting m*self cuz ya'know, I must have done something for him to be questioning whether he loves me or not. I'm too emotional? Jump to conclusions sometimes? I'm annoying? I'm too much?? I don't know why and it's driving me insane. I'm gonna try and call with him today but, I'm not eating anything. ROCD has made everything Reality. 😢😰😓

I’m like 90% sure I’m just bi, more romantically inclined to men, mainly my bf who I wanna marry. But now my brain is like “if you lean into liking women or keep circling and circling for answers you’ll lose all attraction to men and your bf. You’re practically already a lesbian” I feel so tense and anxious I will admit I am talking to chat gpt out of desperation I’m scared of losing all attraction to him I don’t wanna be thinking about women. I don’t unless I’m really stressed cuz when I’m stressed my ocd can take advantage of that I can usually ground myself when I’m in the city with him but I’m back home for most of the summer and I can’t be physically close to him which usually reminds me that hey this is real this is what I really want in life. Him But then I panic and question I haven’t been here in a while tbh. I’m worried I don’t feel enough. I don’t like magic Mike all that much, I like softer guys. But now the fact I don’t like/get turned on by random men on tv but do women in lingerie really stresses me out and makes me worry I’m truly a lesbian but I’m not. Once I started getting to know my bf and my ex bf’s I really did truly genuinely like them and wanted to make out and everything. Idk can anyone relate to the not liking big buff men All my brain is repeating rn is “when he dies you’ll be able to date a woman, when you break up you’ll only wanna date women” and it’s stressing me out. It’s making me nauseous. I was doing well for about a couple days after I initially left but being at home has been so incredibly draining This might give you a vision of how stressful home is: I’ve been on nexplanon for 7 months ish? Only had very minimal spotting during a stressful school period. Today: fully bleeding, like a usual period. I haven’t had my period since having it put in. I wanna go back to my bf so badly rn. I’m so worried I’m faking or don’t feel enough. I’m learning what a healthy relationship looks like and I’m terrified I’m gonna up and leave him when we’re older cuz I’ll finally figure out that I’m a lesbian or smthn. Idk. Someone pls just help me out a tad
