Friend, you can’t be perfect. He’s not perfect either. You are human and you are allowed to have fears and you are allowed to vocalize them. My husband and I had many conversations like this prior to getting married. They were difficult at first but as time went on we learned that not every statement is a personal attack and we learned to be more flexible and understanding of each other. Things like this often make your relationship stronger. If he gives up on you, he’s not the right want. You deserve someone who will stick by your side despite mistakes. You’re human.

This comment means a lot to me. Thank you so much. I want him to realize that too. My statement wasn’t intended to come off as a personal attack but it hurt him so much to the point where he cried. I feel really bad but I do deserve a second chance. I know that if he gives up, he’s not the right one.. it’s just scary even hearing that sometimes 😔 i feel like every guy I’ve talked to gives up on me. It hurts so much. He’s doing better now but ofc it hurt to feel like he was unsure of being with me.

@gg And YOU have a right to feel hurt by him feeling uncertain. But what I will say is, uncertainty in relationships is extremely common. And sometimes this is just the persons initial reaction to the comment. Later they often look back and realized they were taking it quite personally. That’s why often in future conversations, we respond differently, because we learned from the last one. Maybe it would be good for you guys to talk about how you can use this for future discussions. This is all very normal.

@Maybe,MaybeNot So uncertainty is common in relationships? I think it would be helpful for us to talk about how we can use that experience for future ones. I’m currently struggling with so many emotions. With him being uncertain, a lot of fears are coming up. “What if there is someone else,” “Does he not love or care for me anymore,” “Have I changed in his eyes,” “Is he just going to give up on me.” I haven’t expressed these to him yet because we’re finally getting back to normal. I will eventually. I’m just scared. Scared of ruining things. Every guy before him, I’ve never been enough. I just want someone to love me and not give up on me. 😔

@gg Yes it’s very common. None of us are 100% certain of anything! What you experienced sounds very normal. I personally don’t really think it’s fair how he responded to you based on what you said your “mistake” was because like we are humans and we aren’t perfect and we need room to make mistakes in our relationships, but if this is one of your first situations like this sometimes it’s kind of just like and ice breaker and then it teaches you both more understanding in the relationship

you've got this. stonewalling is a gross abuse tactic. boyfriend or not, you'll do great at work, and you'll get through the day.

Yes I’m sorry that you’re going through this !! It really sounds like he’s being emotionally unavailable and you can’t blame yourself for that sending peace

Thank you. I guess I just made him feel really bad because I sort of painted him out to be an ignorant person, but those were my fears talking. I’m a poc and he isn’t so Ofc I was worrying about him potentially being ignorant but Ik that’s not who he is

He was emotionally unavailable and didn’t know how he felt, which is why he didn’t answer it. It still sucked though. He’s feeling better and it seems like we’ll be ok but I’m still scared. I hope things go back to normal for him

My bf and I just broke up and I haven’t felt this sort of heartbreak in a very long time. I’m crying all the time and can barely get out of bed. Idek what to do with myself and I’m terrified I’m going to relapse because of all the added stress. I think us breaking up was the right decision but it hurts so fucking bad idek what i should do anymore. I’m not normally the emotional type when it comes to situations like this either. Any advice?

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. 😢😰😓
