I’m 21 and in a 2.5 year relationship. I love him but I feel like there’s more. I don’t think he really understands my emotions the way he thinks he does. I feel like I’m self sabotaging. But I can’t live with “what ifs”. Im scared I won’t find someone.

I know I’m young but I feel like I’m running out of time. I don’t ever want to fall in love again. But also at the same time I just want to find my person. Ugh this is so hard for what. What if I’m just making the small things a bigger deal than they actually are to self sabotage. But like also, they do matter. And if they matter to me they should matter to him. Yk? He should ask me how my day was. He should tell me he loves me. He should tell me I’m beautiful. He should open my doors. PIMP DOWN

Hi OP, sounds like you want to shop around before deciding and seeing what is out there. That approach is a paradox because to get to know people takes time and to be with them is another layer to it and to take the time to know enough to make an educated choice will have that specter of more on the other side.

Nature will always produce a better person at some point regardless who you choose later on. So it is to see if the person has enough what you are looking for but just know that you can do everything right and he can change regardless into a bad person. So in the end just know virtue and virtue alone should be the sole motivation regardless of outcome than follow a person into tragedy. Sometimes people will head that direction either way.

Talk to a friend, someone who knows both of you at least somewhat. There’s no right answer. Life will always be full of what ifs. All you can do is do is gather all information, every pro/con, and go from there
