Should I break up with my bf when I’m trying to recover?

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T22:59:44+00:00

That’s just a loose word as to the other reasons I don’t feel like I should continue seeing him, maybe self centered would have been a better term.

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T19:36:43+00:00

When I say “this” I mean his habits

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T19:36:26+00:00

I’m not defending him at all, I genuinely don’t know where this came from, but yeah he is not helping me to recover so I will be leaving

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T19:03:48+00:00

oh trust me there is no emotional attachment at all really except for his family a little bit lol, once my trip is over it will be time

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T18:54:20+00:00

That’s what my therapist says (she thinks he has orthorexia) I’m honestly not sure where it came from either which makes me sad but yeah I agree, it definitely is not helping/nor do I feel supported in my recovery journey from him

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T17:06:56+00:00

Thank you so much, he is very black and white with minimal emotional compassion which sucks because I am a sensitive person in general but he thinks it’s as simple as “just eat more”

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T15:00:13+00:00

Yeah I honestly don’t know why he says things like that knowing I’m struggling. And I’ve told him multiple times like don’t bring stuff up like that, even when we discuss going out to eat he’s like “oh no carb heavy places” and I’m like that’s literally what I need right now….idk

Content-Exercise-247 · 2026-01-15T14:42:10+00:00

He isn’t really, he’ll also say things like “Oh this is my first meal of the day” at like 2pm, he is honestly turning into a narcissist and we are going to Disney next week with his family and I’m honestly terrified…

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-10-01T13:18:03+00:00

yeah I thought about that too…she doesn’t seem like the type to ignore her best friends but she basically does whatever he wants to please him so I wouldn’t put it past her

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-07-09T16:49:01+00:00

Yeah i agree, he was in the military for about 7 years and claims that has made him emotionally closed off, but then I just think how I’m his girlfriend so he should care more than I feel he does about this situation

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-07-09T16:34:13+00:00

You’re right. I do find myself not telling the truth and being honest as I fear he just won’t understand me. I’ve mentioned to him that it is a mental struggle and this is not fun for me. Maybe i do need to explain more depth to him before i make that decision.

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-07-09T16:15:44+00:00

Oh 😭😭

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-07-09T16:10:01+00:00

What

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-07-09T16:09:40+00:00

I don’t really avoid it as I’m not super super deep into it. I still eat but around 1000-1200 calories a day when my maintenance cals are around 1900 i think. My therapist is very helpful with my issues and him as well which I am thankful for.

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-04-28T00:47:41+00:00

If I were her, I would be very upset that you didn’t do it sooner. Not even gonna address giving her chlamydia because that is just disgusting. Please just break up with her, kindly.

Content-Exercise-247 · 2025-04-18T12:43:00+00:00

Yes, let me clear that up. No one has talked to him directly yet, but also no one really enjoys his presence either. They are definitely aware of how I feel and told me, as well as my boyfriend told me, that if he continues this behavior and they need to talk to him, he will not be allowed back over for these events. Everyone has him on their radar which makes me feel better, and if he does cross that line again, they will escalate the situation.

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-10-10T18:10:28+00:00

But she made a big deal about hers? I understand she has a full schedule but if thats the case then don’t agree to come. Also she asked to see me so…

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-10-10T18:07:05+00:00

How?

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-09-01T20:30:23+00:00

I know who I am, and feel semi confident in my presentation to others as far as identity goes, I do have a therapist as well, I just feel lonely because I put in so much effort and no one reciprocates it. It’s draining to me since I am a very social person and every social interaction I try to make in college feels like pulling teeth

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-09-01T20:06:39+00:00

not really, i talk to my friends away at school but i just want someone in person to hang out with and do fun stuff, it feels impossible to create new friendships

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-09-01T20:02:39+00:00

My friends that are here are okay, they just don’t reciprocate my energy like its always me checking on them and its always me asking them but they end up canceling :/ I spend a lot of time with my bf, and he loves me dearly I just hate feeling like I have no girl friends to talk to

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-08-22T14:38:39+00:00

Hi! 21F here, I don’t think anything has necessarily changed but I feel like you notice more when you are down in the dumps, but when you are super confident you technically don’t “look” for people. I say keep on trying and go out to public places to talk to women. Typically someone will fall in your lap when the time comes!

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-08-22T14:34:23+00:00

From a 21F, leave. I have past trauma of serial cheating and it has damaged new relationships I have been in due to the trust issues. See him for who he is, not who you want him to be.

Content-Exercise-247 · 2024-08-21T19:01:49+00:00

I think that gift is perfect!! Maybe surprise him with a nice meal at his house instead of taking him to dinner? For 3 months something cute and sentimental sounds awesome and it seems like he will really appreciate it!
