do you *choose* to love him? love isn’t always a feeling, it’s an action that you choose to do. yes, feelings are a good sign that you do love them but ultimately it’s something you wake up everyday and choose to do. don’t get caught up in “feelings” because feelings aren’t always reliable (which we all know)

I don't know why its so hard for my brain to accept that feelings aren't everything in a relationship and that being calm and comfortable is a good thing

Expecting any type of feelings at any given moment is a recipe for huge anxiety with OCD. Expecting and analyzing make it almost impossible to feel any spontaneous positive emotions when they would have otherwise popped in.

I wish I was calm and comfortable. You are very lucky to have that as I just feel constantly worries and sick with doubt and dread

Lately, I’ve been feeling like something has changed in me — like I have changed, and like my feelings for my boyfriend have faded or shifted. It’s one of the worst sensations I’ve ever felt. I keep thinking things like “I don’t love him like before” or “I’ve changed too much to feel anything now.” Sometimes when he calls me or makes a joke, I get irritated for no reason. I feel like I’m being mean, cold, disconnected — and then guilt crashes down on me. I remember how I used to feel: warm, close, expressive. And now… I just don’t feel the same. That makes me think: “Maybe I’ve fallen out of love.” But I’m also constantly anxious. I overthink every moment. I can’t relax into anything without analyzing if what I feel is “right.” It makes me wonder — maybe I haven’t actually changed. Maybe I’m just overwhelmed and tired from months of these thoughts and fears. I don’t know how to feel right now. I just want to believe that this disconnection isn’t proof that love is gone, but a sign that I’m scared and burnt out.

I’ve looked at my boyfriend’s looks for so long that I really hope I value him as a person like he values me. I’ve entered into a mature love, that’s beyond feelings. But I want that attraction back like how can I grow my feelings towards him? Why does it feel so bleh or not like when I first meet a guy and I’m getting to know him? Comfortable?
