...See more Lately in our relationship, I’ve felt like I was stuck in limbo. The affection he was giving me didn’t feel like enough anymore, and we’d been fighting more often than usual. Ever since he moved away for university, the distance between us made everything feel heavier During our date, I suddenly felt overwhelmed it seemed like he didn’t really prioritize our time together, and I just broke down in tears. I took him somewhere private to talk, and I told him everything I’d been holding in how unloved and distant I’d felt. He opened up too. He told me that he’s been struggling with his mental health and barely keeping up with university work. He said maintaining our relationship had become really difficult with the distance, and that he needed me but couldn’t bring himself to tell me what was going on because he thought I wouldn’t understand or that there was nothing I could do. In the end, he said the only way for him to feel less pressure and stress was for us to break up. I told him I understood. I felt okay with this cause to be honest ive been accepting the fact that we may break up due to the stress ive been under because of us so I thought I’d be okay with it, but now… I just miss him so much. He said he misses me too. The whole way home, he held me close, comforting me as I cried he said he was sad to let go of us aswell . Before he dropped me off, he gave me a kiss goodbye.

Relationship Stress / by autumnsweet

...See more I’ve been feeling really anxious, sad, and overthinking a lot about my relationship with my boyfriend. I notice small thing like when he takes a long time to reply, gives one-word answers, or is active on social media and it makes me feel unloved and insecure. I want proof that he cares, and when I test him or wait for him to reach out first, I often feel disappointed, which just makes my anxiety worse. I know he still loves me and tries in his own way, but I feel hurt when I don’t get the attention or affection I need. I struggle to manage my emotions, especially in the mornings or when I’m stressed, and it makes it hard to focus on school, holidays, or other things. I really want a stable, secure, and loving relationship, but I feel exhausted trying to balance my strong emotional needs with his personality and communication style. I wish I could feel more mentally stable and secure in us without spiraling so much but i dont know where to start or how to do it i seriously dont wanna break uo with him cause i love him so much but its so exhausting being this way towards myself
