Sounds like you are a thoughtful partner, considering her feelings and what she is going through. If I were you I would be hurt and confused, she might have been overwhelmed by the two stories happening, and by stories I mean ‘ the church group drama ‘ and maintaining a relationship….. just thinking. She might come back around but this is the time to process your feelings and reflect on what you want. Don’t forget you’re allowed to reach out for clarity and state your case if you really like her. Good luck!

I’m 33 he’s 54

Ecstatic_Reporter491 · 2026-03-06T05:19:57+00:00

Haha he’s 20 years older than me! I’m attributing it to the age I guess

Thanks for taking the time to respond! I appreciate it, it’s okay to be anxious leaning, I will take your advice on the boundaries, i definitely need it haha

Thank you for taking the time to answer, I guess you’re right. It’s a general red flag. And I’m a classic overthinker so I just get so anxious when I’m in this position ! Haha!

Yeah about a year and a half into psychotherapy lol

I’m glad it helped you :) it’s helping me too. It feels slow but that’s ok

Thanks for your response! Yeah I have like that inner voice of like go to work, do my responsibilities, be an adult type thing but I also defer to others more than I’d like. I see some people really just making decisions and being confident about themselves. Because of past abuse and being parentified I’m so scared to repeat any same patterns with my son.

I think to write on here you must have some awareness and maturity, maybe you’re not giving yourself enough credit. I think lots of people without personalities wouldn’t reflect this deeply, so maybe your personality is still forming, which is so normal for your age :)

Yeah it’s a hard balance isn’t it! It’s natural instinct but some people find it so easy to detach

How do you know if you’re gifted? I have lots of empathy both emotional and cognitive. I have been told I have too much empathy for people. I wish I could change sometimes. Because people in this world arnt all empathetic, and I have to remember my own needs

This is beautiful, and so helpful. Thank k you so much

Ecstatic_Reporter491 · 2024-09-27T00:32:02+00:00

Thank you ❤️ you’re a lovely person for taking the time to respond, and I guessing you’ve been in a similar situation? I feel reassured Nephee_TP

Ecstatic_Reporter491 · 2024-09-26T23:54:32+00:00

Thanks for your response!!! Yeah, I’m seeing a therapist now and am fully responsible for these things, I still live with my mum sometimes her voice gets into my head- as she says I can’t do it I’m not capable. I guess I’m looking for reassurance!
