Anxiety because of relationship

My relationship has been causing me anxiety. We've been together for 3 years. I dont get flowers, gifts, he doesnt plan dates. He earns half of what I do. I pay for most of our outing (which is okay to me). He says he loves me but also that he doesnt know how to show it. He says hes an overthinking so hes always in his head. He doesnt himself hold my hand out of fear that I might not want him to touch me. I often feel alone. He's not a bad guy but he always does nothing much for me to let me know he has feelings. I worry about a future where this continues, although he says he's working on his behaviour.

@plummetingchaos hey there!

it sounds like you’re going through a tough time, and it’s totally understandable to feel anxious about your relationship. communication is key, so maybe having a heart-to-heart with him about how you’re feeling could help? it’s great that he’s willing to work on his behaviour, but it’s also important for you to feel valued and connected. you deserve to feel loved and appreciated, so don’t hesitate to express what you need. hang in there! 🙂

I'm so sorry this is happening and it sounds like such a rough time to go through. ❤️❤️

Relationships are difficult so it's normal to feel anxious. I think communication is really important here as having a close discussion about how he comes across to you as your significant other might help you with your feelings. 

You as an individual with or without him are whole ☺️ You are so loved and you deserve to feel that and appreciated.
