My anxiety's causing massive problems in my relationship :( My boyfriend (who I've been with for just over a year) doesn't understand it at all - despite me sending him loads of information to read and websites to look at.
He lied to me at the start of our relationship, and because of my anxiety I just can't help wondering if he still is. I get so paranoid a lot of the time - especially in the mornings when he seems really cold and not very affectionate, he claims it's just because he's tired but he still doesn't really seem to make an effort even when he knows I'm worried about it.
He's headed out this morning after a blazing row - the lack of affection was there again this morning, he said it's just because he was tired, then he straight away got ready to head out of the flat to go to the library to write his business plan and said he's not going to be back for about 4 hours.
He could easily do the work here, and it's a business we're going to be involved in together, so that immediately set alarm bells ringing thanks to the anxiety. Which then ended up with me in tears, him getting frustrated and a massive argument as a result.
Has anyone else had their anxiety lead to major rows within a relationship? And has anyone got any tips for dealing with it? I'm so sick of feeling down about arguments on top of the normal anxiety issues, I can't cope with it anymore :(
