Not sure if it's my mental health or relationship
Relationship Stress / by LuckyElf

...See more We're hardly intimate, he doesn't communicate much. We've been together almost a year, I'm his first "serious" relationship for this long. He's 26, I'm 21. We live together. I want the spark and excitement. I know I love him, and he loves me - but I just feel like something isn't sitting properly. I don't know if I'm self-destructing and ruining stuff because my mental health is bad at the moment anyway and I have BPD. We work on every single level otherwise. I keep bringing up these issues and he just says he's tired. He works as a carpenter and does long days most days of the week, so I understand that, but it's been a month now. I don't want to keep bringing it up and come off as nagging and in turn ruin my relationship that way, but I don't want to stay in a relationship if he's not attracted to me that way. My head is telling me I'm just a consolation prize. Someone to spend time with so he's not alone. He used to be a bit of a... player before me. Not sure on his number of partners - don't want to know - but I know it's high. Moving out is always an option, but at the moment I'm signed off from work anyway due to my mental health & I can't live in the same village I am now as it would be too expensive on my own. I know how hard it would be to get another job when I've lately been signed off. I can't move back home (an hour away) as it would be a step back (it's in the middle of nowhere, no jobs nearby/can't drive) I'm just feeling stuck and unsure on what is going on.
