    Ok so I have some insecurity with trust and things like that. Sometimes I questioned my partner and accused when really I knew he hadn’t done anything. Yesterday we went on a break because it was getting him down; he has also been under a lot of stress with exams at Uni.

    I’m really worried that he won’t take me back after the break although in some ways I think he would prefer to stay with me I’m not sure if he will. I’m getting really stressed out, it’s only been a day since we started the break but I couldn’t think of anything but. I have no contact with him at all he just wants to be alone.

    I know I have a problem, I snap sometimes and have these insecurities so I really want to use the break to sort them out. So I guess its 2 things. 1) I want to change these problems and 2) I want to keep him at the end of it. I really love him, I know I do, I’ve never felt this way before and I’ve had boyfriends before but nothing like this – we were planning to move out together once he finishes Uni and had a really well structured future and finances. It would be more than just a shame to lose all what we planned an our love because of this. Please help. I’ve been searching everywhere for advice and nothing comes back, I’m getting more and more stressed every minute!

    You have a big problem if you’re accusing him of things even when you know he hasn’t done them. 😯 On some level you’re trying to push him away — maybe because you don’t think you deserve him, or perhaps because you don’t think you’ll be able to keep him so it’s less painful to push him away than to be rejected by him…. whatever the motivation for your unhealthy behavior, you have to stop it.

    If you’re really strong then just being conscious when you’re about to say something that isn’t true or that you don’t mean, may be enough for you to self-muzzle before the destructive words come out. If you’re not that in touch with yourself then you have to take baby steps to get there. Stop yourself from saying anything negative at all. That’s for starters. Then when you’re about to say something negative, stop yourself and take yourself out of the room so you can cool down and think about why you were about to say it and what’s really going on underneath.

    The relationship you’ve just lost is less important than this problem you have that will follow you from relationship to relationship, bombing them, if you don’t deal with it effectively now. Do the work. You are worth it.
