I'm too dependent on her

She said it freaks her out. So I have to learn to live my life and have her just adding to it rather than being the central piece of the puzzle.

I knew I was too much. No wonder they always leave. Guess I should just go back to being touch-starved and lonely, it was easier that way. Got to endure the pain.

"Freaks her out" is not the impression I was hoping my words gave you. I'm sorry they did. I also do not mean to make you feel like you should just give up and be alone and be miserable just because something is currently a challenge in our relationship. I'm hoping we can work things out...and learn how to communicate better as needed.

Am I worried and concerned about codependency ? sometimes, yes I am.

The goal is to have a healthy relationship, right? I hope that's a goal both of us have. That means both of us working towards that goal. I will try my best to be helpful, supportive,encouraging and caring for you to be and feel like a whole healthy confident capable person...as long as it's not at the cost of my own wellbeing or your own. because it's important to have a good relationship with yourself as well as with others. And its important that we both have that.

So now we figure out what steps are needed to do that?
what do you think? 🤷🏻‍♀

@shakemeup we can and will work it out.

Or you could learn from past experiences, listen to what she’s telling you, stop playing the victim and set out to make improvements.
@pancakeslam Gotta start somewhere or you’re not gonna get anywhere. A journey can begin with even the smallest of steps.

@OlderSometimesWiser true. I think pets are a great start. of course you can't shtup it but it's better than nothing.
@pancakeslam Very good suggestion. Anything to break the inertia and long held patterns of thought and behavior.

Don’t say that ☹
When you get together with someone, it’s never going to be exactly 50/50
Life’s a rollercoaster, and sometimes you’re the one on the side that’s getting roughened up 😅 But also don’t loose your independence just because you’re with someone. You can’t be with them 24/7, but those few hours that you two are together should be special 🤗

@Ashly our few hours together are special

I am like this too, and I demand a lot of a partner. I learned some about attachment styles and delved into some childhood stuff with my therapist and I have a better handle on it now.

You're likely an anxious attachment style, read into it and it might help you ☺

@KiwiDan it's manageable! 💙💙 I know it's hard though and it hurts. But we can heal from it and become more stable and secure 💙
