I [19F] feel guilty for being in a relationship with my bf [21M]
My boyfriend and I have only been in a relationship for a few months. It’s been great so far! He’s good at communication and he really does treat me well. Think honeymoon and pink clouds.
But I can’t help shake off the feeling of guilt for dating him. I don’t exactly get jealous or anything when he hangs with his girl friends, I know it’s completely platonic and he assures me that it is without me asking, but I feel bad that someone like me is keeping him from liking a cooler, cuter, funnier or prettier girl who is better at games or who can keep up with his interests.
I’ve only ever had experience with friendships, so the thought of him being only able to commit to one person and that one person being ME of all people is extremely overwhelming.
How do I get rid of this feeling? It’s driving me up a wall that has me acting avoidant sometimes and I really want things to work out between us.
Even when he tells me the reasons he likes me, none of them stick. I can’t seem to understand why he chose me at all lol.
If it’s any help, this is my very first relationship so I’m taking it one step at a time!
Thank you for reading (｡ ́︿ ̀｡), have a good day.
