How to deal with crazy ex
Relationship Stress / by unassumingCake252
Last post

...See more How do I deal with the crazy amount anxiety, anger, and paranoia that I have with his crazy ex still trying to insert herself into his life? My partner and I have established that he has absolutely no interest in her, but will also not block her because he doesn't want to burn any bridges. I feel like I'm going crazy with my feelings and can't control the stress that I have over this person's existence. Help.

Giving him another chance

...See more I found out that my partner met up with his ex recently. A little bit of a back story: she has been trying to get him back for months and he firmly doesn't want to get back together with her. He didn't think I reacted well last time we talked about her so that's why he didn't tell me he met up with her. When I asked him if he's seen her recently he said no, and it took a little bit of probing to find out the truth. We determined that he lied about answering my initial question and not telling me about the meet up cuz he didn't want to start a conflict over "nothing". We later determined that not being honest and transparent causes more conflict. He acknowledged his mistake and we made it clear to not have dishonesty and be transparent in the future. I was so close to just breaking up with him before that, but him acknowledging it and agreeing not to do it again made me give him another chance. I'm summarizing it, but we detailed out my cexpectations of being honest and transparent. P.s. the main problem I had was the lying, but I do know that there is nothing going on romantically with them, the meetup was just to exchange belongings. I don't want to detail how I know that's true, but I am comfortable with that. I don't want to talk about it anymore, and even feel slightly triggered writing this, but I did want to get an outsider's perspective on the situation, my decision, etc.

He's stressed and pulling away

...See more Help, he's been going through a lot of stress and as a result I feel him pulling away. Doesn't show as much affection anymore. I don't know if he's still interested in me. It's causing me so much anxiety. I'm tempted to just end things to give myself peace of mind.
