I’m really thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend. He’s really the only person that I talk to you on a daily basis. But the relationship is just giving me too much anxiety I don’t know if I can do it anymore.

I have an event to go to and he’s acting all weird about it. I had a really questioning whether I really want this relationship lately, and most of the time I don’t. But again he’s literally my only friend, so if I break up with him I’m you going to be lonely, but then I’m going to be miserable if I was still with him. I really don’t know what to do

were you feeling this way before the relationship? or have they coerced you to this isolated state. You always have support

No, I’ve always had a hard time making friends. But my friends that were here all ended up moving because they graduated college. So it’s really just him and maybe like one other person right now. I’ve been questioning whether or not this relationship should go on for a while now, at least a couple of months. But he’s acting all weird because I have social thing to go to this weekend

The last time I went out I didn’t answer my phone for a while and he got pretty upset. To be fair, I shouldn’t of left him hanging like I did. But he’s afraid that it’s going to happen again and he’s acting all strange. It’s hard to decipher somebody’s tone over text, but this is how he texts when he is upset. He has a lot of anxiety which I think is part of his problem

i’ve been in a similar situation (from the limited context) and I decided to break it off. At a certain point your happiness means more than letting down this person, or feeling lonely for a while. You can make new friends meet new people, but you can’t take back time or choices you regret

It’s just one of those situations that you’re damned if you do damned if you don’t. And I’m caught in the middle. I’m glad he worries about me, but he worries a little too much to the point where it ruins his whole mood. And it’s getting to the point that I don’t know how much longer I can take it. I bawled my eyes out over it for almost 3 hours. This is my first relationship and I don’t even know how to go about ending it

The last time I went out and this happened he ended up getting over it eventually. But I’m going to a convention so this is a whole weekend ordeal rather than just one night. It’s not that he doesn’t care, it’s that I think he cares too much. And in return that gives me anxiety when he’s upset

this is almost the identical situation I felt i was in. you just need to have an honest conversation, I feel this way & I don’t want to continue this relationship anymore. If the relationship this kind of emotional pit it sounds like prioritize your own health and well being. After you do that, as hard as it is, he’s not your problem anymore.

it sounds like he could possibly be making it harder for you to make new friends (unintentionally maybe)?
