I feel like the worst girlfriend ever because my boyfriend likes to see me a lot but I have depression and a naturally introverted personality so I feel like seeing him once a week is enough. I know it makes him sad and I don’t know why but I just can’t seem to put him first and hangout with him more. I know he’s putting a lot more effort into our relationship than I am but at this point it feels as though i just have no more effort to give. I know he also has depression but he doesn’t rly tell me all that much about his trauma just as I don’t really tell him about mine. It makes me feel extremely guilty when we don’t see each other because I needed time for myself when I know he wants to hang out. And he suggests doing simple stuff like just watching a movie but even those types of things exhaust me it’s almost as if I can’t relax when i’m with other people and sometimes just prefer to be by myself but now that’s become exhausting because I just end up feeling guilty about how i’m not spending time with him.

Hi @Unirosie1314

Sounds like you both have been trying hard to make the relationship works. Has the relationship still bring you joy? Have you tried to discuss this with him? If yes, what did he say?
