Anxiety advice

Relationship Problems

Hi. I just wanted to get some advice on some problems I have been experiencing.

I have been seeing my boyfriend for 3 years and we have recently moved in together. Our relationship has, up until recently, always been good - he has/had been the love of my life - despite me feeling very insecure throughout the majority of it. By insecure, I mean that I felt as though I always craved for his attention and felt rejected when he was busy (he was never excessively busy - I know I was being too demanding!) He has however admitted that he did keep me "at bay" for a long time until he was certain that I was "the one" - which he now says I am.

He is a great guy, everything I would look for in a man and my family/friends adore him.

Recently I have been through a very stressful period, during which time (i felt) he wasn't really there for me. One day after an argument, something literally snapped inside of me and since that day I have felt SO unsure about our whole relationship. I have constant doubts about my feelings for him and whether I love him / whether he is the one for me. I feel constantly anxious around him etc..

One part of me whats to turn and run where the other can't let him go. I feel as though I'm living in constant uncertainty. One minute I'm full on, the next I'm not! I feel like I've lost control of everything I ever wanted...

I have no problems being physical with him (in terms of hugging and kissing) although sexually things have been quite difficult for a while - not because he repulses me - just because I'm living with anxiety and uncertainty.

I dont want him to know my fears in case he splits up with me...

Any views/experiences on this would be very much appreciated.

More information?

I think you need some private, quiet time to yourself, if possible. Whatever is stressing you obviously is upsetting you, so take a deepbreath and maybe be alone for a bit?

Maybe more info here would allow for better advice.

Good luck to you.
