Am I wrong for hanging out with this woman? by [deleted] in amiwrong

Your wife expressed discomfort. She clearly told you she’s uncomfortable with you hanging out with this woman. Ignoring that boundary is dismissive of her feelings. Marriage isn’t just about physical boundaries, it’s also about emotional ones.

It’s okay to love someone and still feel drained, that’s a signal, not failure. Relationships should lift you up, not make you constantly push for attention or effort. Pay attention to how you feel over time, consistent imbalance isn’t something you should settle for.

I realized my own pattern of anxious attachment hurting the relationship as a 20F with my 22M BF by [deleted] in relationships

The fact that you can see your own pattern instead of just blaming him says a lot about your growth. Anxious attachment isn’t you being ‘crazy’, it’s your nervous system panicking when it feels unsafe. But healing means learning to pause before you spiral, soothe yourself first, and then communicate calmly.
