đ„ș I can relate. Itâs sad because I feel like this might be a normal thought most people have in relationships but they can easily shrug it off. But for me, or for us, itâs like we think this thought and experience panic and like omg omg Iâm having this thought for a reason this is the end of the world.

My boyfriend just poured his heart out to me. He told me how much pain heâs in â how disconnected he feels from me, how hurt he is that weâre not intimate, that I donât react to his love, that we donât feel like a couple anymore. He said things that shouldâve broken my heart⊠but I felt nothing. Nothing. And now Iâm terrified. Not just scared â destroyed by the thought that maybe I really donât love him, and Iâve just been lying to myself this entire time. I keep thinking: âIf I loved him, wouldnât I feel something?â âWhy didnât I cry? Why didnât I reach for him? Why didnât I say âIâm sorryâ?â âWhat kind of person listens to someone they care about and feels absolutely nothing?â I feel like Iâve been fighting this for so long â like Iâve spent months, maybe even years, battling the same thoughts over and over again: âYou donât love him.â âYouâre just used to him.â âYou want to want him â but you donât.â And what makes it worse is that everyone around me says the same thing: âMaybe youâre forcing it.â âYou canât control how you feel.â âIf youâre this confused, that means something.â But what no one seems to understand is that Iâve tried so hard. I didnât want this. I didnât choose to become cold. I didnât choose to stop feeling things. I didnât want to lose my ability to love â or to connect â or to just exist next to him without questioning every single breath I take. I feel like Iâve become someone else. Someone who doesnât react. Someone who doesnât smile when heâs kind. Someone who doesnât feel warmth when he says âI love you.â But this isnât who I was. There was a time when I loved hearing his voice. When I looked forward to seeing him. When I felt. And now⊠nothing. Just this endless cycle of doubt, guilt, numbness, fear, and the horrible thought: âIf it feels this real, maybe it is.â I donât know what this is anymore. I feel like Iâm hurting him. And I feel like Iâm losing myself, too. And the most terrifying part? I donât feel anything about that either. But if I truly didnât care â why does this hurt so much? If anyone else has ever felt like this⊠please, please tell me Iâm not alone. I donât want this to be the truth. I donât want to lose him. But I also donât want to keep living like this.

My boyfriend is telling me every time im anxious, that if i didnt like him (i always think that i dont love him) i wouldnt suffer this much over my thoughts, and i could have just leave him. Its very true but i dont feel better at all and im thinking that i dont want to hurt hum or that im used to him and dont want to accept the reality and thats why i suffer because i am a good person???? im so sad and scared and anxious.
