Seperation Anxiety re: girlfriend
49% Normal
8 Comments ⇓

I have a girlfriend and everytime I cant reach her on the phone or I call and shes gone or we are not together or shes with somebody else doing something I get tremendous anxiety. I used to be able to goto germany, etc for three months at a time and not worry about my girlfriends. When I think of having to spend a night alone or without her I get very scared of the night and almost wonder how I will be able to cope with the anxiety and silence of it. I am not a obsessed type, I recently went through a very hard divorce and spent considerable time in a....work environment...that was both emotionally difficult and dangerous...and illegal. After the divorce I went through a period of going from girl to girl...mostly just to cope with the sudden trauma of my last relationship. We had just bought a house and started our lives really. My current girlfriend who I love very much has never cheated on me that i know of and she seems very capable of making good decisions but she has made some wrong ones in her past and who hasent....I dont fault her for those. She lets alcohol get away from her and likes it a bit too much at times. I know this is rambling but at least its serious and thats different than alot of posts on here so give me a second and your opinion. No dumb stuff...and keep in mind I am relatively healthy minded I think. Or I was. I was even a chemical addictions therapist and cognitive behavioral therapist here in Colorado at one point. I dont understand the seperation anxiety I have with her. What do you think it is from?
Do you think it's normal?

Maybe you are more in love with her than any girl before. That is all I can think of
it seems you have trust and attachment issues prob from divorce... i suggest controlling them or getting help from a professional. Eventually she will assume you are extremely possessive, and hide things from you... not important things... just reasons to be alone and away from you.

i had a boyfriend similar to you... i would be working, and exactly the second i was supposed to get out he would call... i'm an adult....i dont need to be kept on his schedule... so i would say i'll be out in 20... and just have a drink or two then go home. i've never cheated on any boyfriend ever... and the things i had to hide from him were trivial.... so i couldnt figure it out.... so i left.

it's good to be apart in a relationship or it wont work... you are trying too hard, and will scare her away. seriously...take it from a girl that's had a guy that behaves like you.
TO BE REAL WIT U

I THINK U HAVE SOME STRONG FEELINGS FOR HER AND U DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL HER BUT IF U DOING THAT U R GOING TO HAV A LOT OF STRESS
SO I THINK ALL U CAN DO IS TAKE IT A DAY AT A TIME
Then she's the one, until i whip out my 12 inch
Under what circumstances did you and your ex-wife split up?
Was SHE cheating and you are dead scared this new girlfriend will go the same way?
Also you know it don't you deep down that this girlfriend has alcohol problems yet you seem to 'allow' her these? They need addressing as does a very serious talk with this new girlfriend, we all aren't perfect but we all don't drink too much either..........be careful

Peace Out
I was sleeping with her while you were in germany with youre gay lover so get over it and try to cope with the bigger gap i have created sorry but u shouldnt leave a hot piece of ass layin around a real man will come and scoop her up and do it like a real man
