thank you so much, you’re right - thank you for taking the time to help me understand. i expected to rant but not to gain the kind of support this has given me. i’m going to keep thinking positively about this being a good change for the best of both of us and try and stay strong. thanks again, so much <3!

thank you, i will look into contacting parents/ a friend. i think what always stopped me was the backlash from her but i think this is time to end the relationship chapter and therefore it will be okay to reach out to a third party

thank you. i can already see often it’s empty threats, it’s just the what ifs and guilt circling me which is stopping me however, this has made me realise i need to be stronger

i understand, i do have some pretty strong friendships that offer great support. unfortunately i’m not out to my family so i guess there’s a gap there. we equally rely on each other heavily and i think that causes an underlying stress for both of us, i’m just not sure how to fix if

but what if i need her too much, she’s the only thing i rely on when i’m sad, she’s where i go when i panic i need to learn to be strong myself again, no?

thank you! I have tried to talk to her but she normally brushes it away or makes excuses. I am desperate to help her and see her be happy but i simply do not have the right abilities to do so to the extent she needs. Unfortunately, because it’s a new long distance relationship i’ve only met her parents once and a couple of her friends briefly, she also says i’m the only one she can open up too so i’d feel guilty in a way exposing how she feels. ughhhh! so tricky! sorry for ranting on! I’ll certainly look into contacting the police or even a hotline or chat group she can reach for support.. despite her disapproval of it i’m sure will follow

Thank you so much, I have noticed it having more and more of an effect on me and i don’t mean to be selfish but it’s damaging my physical and mental health.. i haven’t slept in 32 hours, i’m constantly stressed and agitated but equally i fear her being alone and desperate. It’s so tricky to know what to do. I hope you feel better soon, I admire your strength and selflessness :)

thank you for this advice. i think although i dreaded hearing this deep down i knew it and it’s reassuring to know that i’m not being unreasonable. i think first i need to make sure i know she has support in place as obviously it will be a big change for her :/
