Hey, at the moment I am extremely anxious about my relationship with my boyfriend. We have been together for 6 months and it's kind of been a whirlwind relationship, where everything happens so fast. I met his children & he asked me & my daughter to move in with him. I explained to my boyfriend early on that I had GAD & tried to explain it best I could.
At first he seemed very supportive but as time is going on. I find him being less supportive & feel he thinks I'm using my GAD as an excuse for my moods, behaviour. A few months ago, I asked him to visit some forums to get an idea of how GAD effects people, so he had a better understanding of what he can expect from me as a sufferer. He said he understands and he will look into it. As far as I know he hasn't done it. I need to feel supported in my relationship!
We are in the process of moving in together but because of my GAD, I needed to move in quick and he is just laid back and in no massive rush for anything. My anxiety is worsening as time goes on and I'm now doubting if this was the right move to make. Today I have been looking at properties just for myself & my daughter but I might change my mind tomorrow if my anxiety settles down. I'm all over the place at the moment, so unsettled. I just want to live a happy quiet life with as little anxiety as possible.
We had a fall out yesterday because he had my car but I had plans to visit family and as time wore on, I became more anxious about being late. I called him, he said 15 minutes, half hour later, I called again he said he was on his way. By the time he got to me with the car my anxiety was out of control cause I was now late and it affected my whole night. He txt me last night, saying I don't know what your problem is and I hope this isn't the way your gonna be all the time! I think he's manipulating me. He decided to not be contactable all day. I tried to call him this morning, so obviously the anxiety kicks in, has he had an accident on his motorbike, maybe he walked home last night & got attacked, etc. He finally txt me at 3.45pm. By that time my anxiety was at an all time high, I came home, took co-codomol and went to bed. I think he's playing games and deliberately causing me more anxiety. I can't bring myself to txt back, I'm so angry at him.
What do you read between the lines peeps. It is me that's causing this or my GAD or him? Like to hear your thoughts. Don't know what action to take next, please help 🙄
