Dating 3 years/ anxiety to move towards marriage
Relationship Stress / by littleCoconut373

...See more I’ve been dating this guy for three years. Our relationship is good at times. I deal with a lot of anxiety though and it’s been affecting our relationship. He is super sweet, loving and caring but slightly on the autism spectrum. I love him. But I become super anxious at times when I’m with him. Especially around other people. I struggle with being a people pleaser. And “feel” judgement from my family and friends. They’ve told me they never pictured me dating or married to someone like him. They think he’s too interverted of a personality for me. Their opinions cause me a lot of pain inside. I want to marry him. But fear rises up inside of me. Fears of being emotionally abandoned. Fears that my family is right about him being really interverted and me feeling alone. He likes to game online with his friends and this is a huge trigger for my anxiety. I often wonder what life will look like after marriage ( I don’t currently live with him). I fear his hobby of gaming leaving me feeling abandoned. My anxiety has affected our relationship so much he’s been talking of ending things or taking a break to get help with my anxiety. I want to go for therapy but can’t really afford it right now. As I’ve been having some health issues and have been paying doctor bills. We don’t know how to get out of this painful anxiety cycle that affects our relationship.
