I don’t just feel like a burden, I AM a burden😢
I’m absolutely devastated. My boyfriend told me that he finds living with me very stressful. He thinks I’m too dependent on him and that he has too much responsibility.
I’m so scared of losing him; he broke up with me once before for the same reason, but we got back together after six months apart.
I don’t know what to do? I’m really not doing well at the moment. I was recently in a clinic and lost my job because I was off sick for too long...but I am trying not to put too much of a burden on him. But it’s just difficult for me at the moment to help him with the housework, admin and so on. And he’s still recovering from burnout himself, so I do understand why he’s exhausted. We’ve been together for 10 years now, and I don’t want this to fall apart because of my CPTSD and depression.
Does anyone here have experience with a situation like this?
I also find it strange that we feel so differently. I don’t think I’m too dependent on him, but I do believe he always feels responsible, even though he often doesn’t need to.
