New relationship anxiety
I started seeing a guy two months ago. We talk everyday, he’s kind of me, we go on dates and spend time together. But we had a talk the other day and he said he’s not sure if he can handle a serious relationship at the moment because of how stretched thin he is with work, friends etc and doesn’t want to begin something like that. He still wants to keep dating each other and says things could change if he had more time in the next few months. The uncertainty of your relationship because it’s not very secure gives me a massive amount of anxiety and makes me feel very depressed. Some days I can’t get out of bed and end up sleeping the whole day and night to try to avoid the feelings. I don’t know how to stop this anxiety because we still are in somewhat early days and I should just relax and let things happen naturally, but I don’t know why I feel so anxious. This happens once I start dating anyone for more than a month and a half. I just want to feel happy and enjoy the present moment, but these feelings make it hard to even want to move sometimes.

Hello!
It's unfair of him to ask that of you.
I can see how you would be left confused and frustrated with the uncertainty.
You deserve someone who makes you feel happy and is committed.
Sending you hugs. We are here for you<3💛✨

there are times in any relationship early on and later ....
that work or other influences take up more time and a partner needs space and time instead of devoting every free moment to the relationship....... It is OK and i think healthy to have time to put items on back burner for a time....
while the stress and anxiety may be that relationship is new ........try to not personalize it and supprt him by doing things by yourself ........and be there when he has more time to devote
