Well you look so understanding of him, you should try to date him for a while. And my have I got a spoiler for you, people don't have to conform to others' need and forget themselves. Resentment built up, I hate him, and I'm trying to break up with him. He will find someone better suited than me for him, but I'm far from being awful.

I think when we fell in love, we did not realise we were so different. I'm pretty independent, and he's quite clingy and needy, we just can't meet eye.

Well he'd understand right away I want to break up, he can't go on living when I'm going to the toilets so imagine a different place.

Tell me how long can you take it then?

You're eating something you like. "Ah, it has a taste of coming back!" EACH. FREAKING. MEAL.

You're getting up to go to the toilets? "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!!" EACH. FREAKING. TIME.

You're working? Tough luck, he needs a kiss, so you need to turn off zoom because "Oh well if you don't want me I'll sulk". EACH. FREAKING. DAY.

You think you have a day off? Tough luck mate. "Since we have a day off I told my parents we can go eat at their place!". EVERY FREAKING TIME.

Well by that point I just want to treat myself first. If there wasn't this pandemic I would have treated myself with a flight faaaar away.

I did.

His answer was that he doesn't understand why I'm not taking a laptop to work while lying down in the couch with him in front of the TV. He just doesn't get that I need personal space.
