I can't tell if I actually like my boyfriend or if I'm just bored. He's not a bad guy but he's so clingy and sensitive I start getting tense when he talks about the future. We're only a few months in and while I feel happy at times I don't miss him nearly as much as he misses me. I'd rather be at home doing my own thing most days but he wants constant attention and reassurance ugh I hate it!! I keep doing my best to reassure him and the more I do the more I want to be apart from him. I find myself often wishing he'd cheat on me just so I'd have an excuse to leave.... I don't know what to do because I'm bad with asserting myself but I miss being single and alone so bad ah I want my own space again!!! Please help ૮ ◞ ⸝⸝ ◟ ྀིა

I just want to be alone for a moment and sort things out again like restart all over again. i feel pity of my boyfriend, he dont deserve this .i afraid i dont get this kind of guy ever again.

Girl I was in the same boat with ex gf (wlw) and I just got so annoyed when she got clingy and dependent on me bc like I’m not your whole life, just an addition to it but I LOVE my alone time and just got so overwhelmed just having to keep reassuring her constantly and having to text her everyday. I often thought it would have been better if we just stayed friends and I probs sound like an asshole but I’ve learnt from it and realised I might be aroace and avoidant. Idk if this helped you at all but I was just glad I found someone experiencing the same thing

it's really brave of you to say this, even to a bunch of strangers anonymously! I think it would be best if you were honest with him and talked to him about this. you don't even have to immediately break up with him, you tell him that you feel like you need more alone time and would like to not hang out as much. maybe a few times a week or month, whichever you feel could work for now. and if you still feel the same way then, you should probably talk to him again and just be honest, everyone deserves that honesty. I'm sure whatever you do, you can handle it :) take it step by step and have a nice day/night :)
