Thanks for all the advice, I appreciate it. Hopefully for the next guy, I need to learn to more effectively and. It get my friends involved. They slightly influenced my judgement but that’s a mistake on my part.
JenParticipantHi Anita
I agree, i think it would have gotten worse if I didn’t get out and I wouldn’t have realised my behaviour was so toxic. Going forward I don’t want it to effect any future relationships. I.e thinking the person will leave.
JenParticipantHi Anita,
My relationship in 2016 was great with him, we established such an amazing bond and friendship and we were making it to something more. Then one day he messaged me and said I can’t see you anymore, I’m getting back with my ex. That was heartbreaking and I hated him for a while. When he came back into my life, we talked it out and I thought ok maybe I could over look it so we tried again but this situation was ringing in the back of my mind that the same thing would happen again. I was coming across controlling, blaming him in fights even though I didn’t realise the underlying issue of fear at the time.
JenParticipantHi Luna
Thank you so much for sharing this. I thought I was the only one. Unfortunately it’s too late for me and him and it’s understandable that he left because he wasn’t able to take it anymore. Going forward I’ll be changing my behaviour and hopefully try and control the anxiety.
JenParticipantHi Anita
I forgot to mention initially I didn’t relise I was suffering from anxiety. I knew it wasn’t normal and I didn’t realise I was just taking it out on him. Now he just thinks I’m crazy, we don’t speak anymore.
JenParticipantThanks for the article Mark
JenParticipantThanks Anita for the advice. I really wish I could undo all the wrongs because at the time it was just spiralling out of control. I have deep sense of regret, I take full accountability of what I’ve done. I just had deep insecurities that he was going to leave like last time and I would try and break up with him to see if he really cared. At the time I didn’t even realise I was doing it. I can’t concentrate and I can’t fer it out of my mind. I have exams in 6 weeks and I can’t concerntrate or get it out of my mind. I feel like I’ve lost an amazing man, because I he didn’t do anything wrong apart from I felt I was always bothering him all the time. But if I look back it was all in my head.
JenParticipantHi Anita,
It definitely stemmed from this relationship, this was my first proper relationship 2 years ago, then he broke up with me out of the blue to get back with his ex. I have dated other people in between then and now, but wasn’t really bothered with the other guys i just dated to pass time. We decided to try again 2 years later, I thought I addressed the issue of him just up and leaving the first time. Without going into to much detail, this time round I was always anxious when is he going to message, if he was online on whatsapp why isn’t he messaging me, why isn’t he arranging to spend time with him. He would have like a random model as his display picture on whatsapp and that instantly raise my anxiety levels, thinking that i wasn’t good enough.I became so clingy when he didn’t communicate with me. I would cause so many arguments out of no where, sometimes for no reason. I always thought there was an issue with him.
JenParticipantI always found that when that I started to loose myself and continuously was focused on him. I am trying to love myself, but I was seeking happiness in him rather than being happy by myself in general if that makes sense. Sometimes I feel like i want find anyone new.
JenParticipantHi Anita,
What would be the best way to combat relationship anxiety going forward? I really don’t want it to effect my next relationship.
At the moment I feel super regretful with my actions and can’t stop thinking about that guy, as I was friends with him before for 7 years.
Thanks
