Thinking of ending relationship but scared
Relationship Stress / by FlyingNoodle
Last post

...See more I've been in a relationship for almost a year. I'm unhappy but I love the person I'm with. I don't feel right in this relationship though. There's an age gap, I'm significantly younger. And although I love them I find myself unable to settle, to think about committing long term. This is my first relationship and I'm scared. Scared because I attach to people too easily sometimes, I think I'd struggle to find someone else and being single again would throw me into the cycle of managing friendships and relationships with people I might be interested in but who like others, etc. I think ending my relationship is the right thing to do, I feel alone now but I worry I will feel more alone after. I don't have many friends. Talking to people is a luxury for me and I don't know how to find new people. I'm worried I'll fall in love with someone who won't be interested in me, or that in all my relationships whether friends or otherwise I'll be the lesser important person. I'll be noticed and cared about less. Giving up the security of my relationships is terrifying but I feel like it's something I have to do. I'm just worried about what could happen after. I feel trapped now, but having feelings for friends or people already in relationships and seeing other people happy when I'm just miserable is very scary. I'm not really sure how to cope with these feelings. I think I know what I need to do at some point but I'm worried about the consequences. Any advice would be very appreciated :)
