@ziggyplayedguitar2 I can understand how anxiety provoking situation this can be, do you feel secure in your relationship? Whatever the answer will be it will help you understand the problem here.

i do feel safe, but often when im away i forget what it feels like to feel that way. our relationship is very healthy and we communicate our needs a lot <3

@ziggyplayedguitar2

It sounds like he's someone special who makes you feel safe/calm/loved when he's around. 💙 I have a bunch of soft pillows and blankets that I like to hold/touch and use as comfort objects. Can imagine you're hugging him or being hugged by him.

Nice username by the way. 😊
