New relationship

So I've been with ny bf 6 weeks this friday. Hes really I'll with man flu at min and we had fall out. We did talk it through which is good thing with us we talk it out we dont let it fester.

He said he needs a few days so he can get himself better and stuff and he said he sometimes feels smothered by me as I talk to him every day and online which looking at what hes saying i see where hes coming from. I was in a abusive relationship which lasted 5 years so I tend to panic and self sabotage relationships when I dont mean to. Anyway I know he loves me as he tell me he does and know he cares I'm just a bit lost as need to keep self occupied. I dont have many friends and work lates at work so by time I finish I dont have much time to do anything at home. I only found this app yesterday and it has helped.

I really want to give him the space he asked for because I have mental health issues and hes patient with me so feel I need to do the same for him because if be a hypocrite if I wasnt there for him.

Anyway thanks for listening.
