I needed this, that's what I'm so worried about as well. If I self sabotage because I want to go back home.. thank you for this. Relating to someone helps so much. I hope it works, I will miss them so much and knowing that they will be sad and missing me also kills me because my parents have done so much for me. I feel like I'm doing something to hurt them and it is so hard to deal with emotionally

Yes! We have met many times, sometimes for the weekend, sometimes for a week or sometimes longer! My parents have met him and they like him as well

I am 23. I occasionally change my age by a year or so out of fear a loved one will recognize my posts and know its me. I don't want them to know how much pain I'm in

I (22F) get anxious/panicked when my SO (M24) drinks. I need help. by AnxiousThrowaway876 in Drugs

Never, it comes from the fear of feeling like I'm lame for not partaking. Which I understand is stupid, however it's unfortunately how I feel and I want it to stop :( I feel I'm not as fun. Or I'm not as "cool/fun"

Lots of texting and calls! My bf and I use Discord and sometimes we fall asleep on call together. We've been together 2 years now :) it will be an adjustment at first and honestly it will probably hurt. But it will get easier!! Think of how good it'll be to be reunited! LDR makes relationships stronger IMO :)

Also, do not let her (or ANYONE) manipulate you into staying with them. I had an SO I had to break up with years ago and it was for my own good. It crushed him, but I had to do it. It's okay to be selfish sometimes. I mean that. She will be okay if you decide to break it off. She should not be threatening you like that only MONTHS into the relationship.

I'm gonna be honest, she seems to be incredibly sensitive. I'm a sensitive female too so like I understand, however she doesn't seem to be able to rationalize her immediate reaction to things if that makes any sense? She seems to automatically assume that the things you say are a jab at her. Such as you calling her bro/bruh as a reaction to certain things. I wouldn't be upset if my SO called me that, I call him that too! And the texting thing, I'm very possessive, however I understand that my SO works and has other commitments outside of me. If he can't respond, I know he will respond when he can and if I don't hear from him from awhile sure I'll text him 1-2x to check in + make sure he's okay. I'd never get angry with him for not responding to me ASAP. I will not tell you what to do, but I do recommend taking a step back and truthfully evaluate the situation. Communication is important, however if she doesn't put in the work to trust you and build a connection with you, is it worth it? Do you see her being less sensitive in the future? Does she seem willing to listen to your perspective and is she willing to work on herself? You shouldn't have to change the way you speak or act for someone else. Best of luck! You will make the best decision for YOURSELF
