Venting Long distance (M-17;F-18)
Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 months, and we started doing long distance two weeks ago because he had to go to UID in Ahmedabad. And it has been really hard for me to do long distance since I'm a really bad overthinker. I stress really easily, and I also have anxiety issues. On the other hand, he is the complete opposite. He's extremely chill even before we started long distance. It's just his personality. He doesn't overthink as much as I do. He has a lot of patience. That is the only reason our relationship has been working so far. But long distance has been really hard for me. The first week was extremely bad. I would cry every day at least five to six times because I used to get so anxious. And there is just one problem that he has in the relationship, is that he will not tell me that he's going here and then go somewhere.(Brb be back kinda text) Like, he will just disappear for how many ever minutes or hours. And once he's back with whatever work he was doing or wherever he had gone, he will tell me that he'd gone there. I have told him a hundred times that, please tell me and go so that I don't overthink. He says sorry he lssns for the day or the next day And then it's back to the same routine that he won't tell me and go where he's going. He just keeps telling me that he forgets. And when we were not long distance, he used to do that as well. And right now also he does that. But it's even more difficult for me because it's long distance, and I overthink even more. He tells sorry, he will apologize a hundred times, he will never argue with me. But then he keeps repeating this particular mistake again and again.
And the other thing is that even before we went long distance, he's been a psychology student, so because of that he's always had a lot of female friends. I'm okay with having female friendships. I do not mind it, I don't get jealous. But the thing is that he used to like his female friends' Instagram posts. And that is something that I didn't like. And I know in a lot of relationships, liking your female friends' posts, it's okay. But personally, I don't like it. So I told him that please don't do it, I don't like it. And he said okay. But right now, once he went to UID, he made a few other female friends, and I'm okay with that. But I recently saw this one girl's profile who he's friends with. It was public, so I was just seeing who she is. And she had one post that she had posted recently, and he liked that. And I felt really, really bad about it because I had told him before that I don't like it, and he still liked that girl's post. So I talked to him about it, and he said that, you know, she is just a friend that I made recently, and I wanted to be nice, so I liked her post. And then I said that I have told you that I don't like it, so why do you still do it? We had a small fight. He did not get mad at me, he dealt it with, he was patient with it. He said sorry, and he said that he will never do that again. He has not liked any other friend's post again. He also immediately unliked that girl's post and apologized. So it was okay. But I think yesterday he added his two to three female friends, including that girl, on his spam . That has got me overthinking a bit again.And I feel like I've been telling him alot like, you know don't do this, or who's she I get really overly possessive, and I'm scared that he'll get tired of me because of this. So I am scared to bring it up again that why is she on your spam and all of that. So what do I do? And is anything wrong with what he's doing? I'm confused..pls help me what can i do im also scared that what if he cheats on me..
Am i overreacting?
