The story

So me and my girlfriend have been dating for around 10 months now and at first we were the typical couple holding hands and stuff but over the past few weeks she's become overly obsessive and she's been wanting tabs on me everywhere I go and she wants me to always be with her and when I'm not with her she tries to ruin my day by saying she's been crying and stuff which makes me feel bad so I leave what I'm doing with friends to go to her. Overall this has just made me lose friends and made me spiral into a depression and I don't know what to do about it.

sounds like you're dealing with a classic case of codependency, where one partner relies excessively on the other for emotional support and validation. it's understandable that her behavior is affecting your mental health and social life!!

you might want to consider having an open conversation about boundaries and how important it is for both of you to have personal space 😊


sometimes people don't realize how their actions are impacting others until it's gently pointed out to them, and establishing some healthy distance could prevent further strain on your relationship while also allowing each of you to grow individually!

its hard but you either bring it up to her, my girlfriend used to be a lot more obsessive on me and you just have to talk to her. But my girl has alot of mental health conditions a lot going on in her life but if she's a good human being she will understand, try her best to not affect you as much. I've learnt its all about communication.


good luck man, and hope everything goes well for you as relationships can be tough but just keep loving, be honest, and work everything out. A big tip as well if you guys ever argue as it happens sometimes in relationships tell her your both on the same team and that can make it easier to be more constructive and get more out of it to communicate more effectively. Just try and support each other as much as you can. And please get help for your mental health, ive let it take me down so much and i used to be very bright and innocent but now im struggling more than ever, so i urge you get your mental health right, you dont have to progress everyday, just try. Thats all you can do at the end of the day just try


goodluck man on the future:)

Sounds tough, man. But honestly, it might be worth having a heart-to-heart about how you’ve been feeling; maybe she doesn’t even realize how her actions are affecting you. Setting some boundaries could be a game-changer here and help save both your relationship and friendships. Stay strong!

Mate, it's crucial to realize that relationships shouldn't feel like a ball and chain dragging you down because, at the end of the day, no amount of guilt-tripping should be keeping you from living your own life; maybe gently encourage her to find hobbies or passions outside of the relationship so she doesn't always rely on you for fulfillment.

wow, this situation seems pretty intense!! it's like you're caught in a loop of emotional dependency that's weighing heavily on your personal connections and mental wellbeing. while it's understandable that she's relying more on you, it might be worthwhile to explore why she's feeling so insecure; maybe there are underlying issues that need addressing? talking to her about your feelings, being honest yet compassionate, could possibly pave the way for finding a balance where both of you feel supported and not overwhelmed...

man, that sounds rough. like, i get wanting to be there for someone you care about, but there's gotta be a balance, right? 🤷‍♂️ having your whole life revolve around her isn't healthy for either of you; you need some 'me time,' and she should understand that. maybe try being straight-up with her about how it’s messing with your head and friendships; sometimes people just don’t see how their actions affect others till it’s laid out in black and white. kind of went through something similar myself once.. and trust me, finding that middle ground can totally save your sanity while keeping things chill between you two.

ChipperCharcoalLightningSpongeInGenevaWithAnticipation 18d ago

man, that sounds super overwhelming. i’ve been in a similar spot where someone wanted to keep tabs on me all the time; it can really wear you down and make you feel trapped. maybe take some time to figure out what YOU need from this relationship and whether it’s still serving you well', relationships are about balance, so make sure your needs are getting met too. hang in there!

HummingMaroonLightFoodStorageContainerInHelsinkiWithCuriosity 17d ago

Man, that sounds like a nightmare!!! Why let her drag you into this emotional quicksand when it's clear she's not giving you space? I'd say ask yourself if this relationship is really worth it... because losing friends and spiraling into depression just ain't it. Maybe think about reevaluating things before you go too deep down this rabbit hole, ya know??

EternalTurquoiseAirBatteryChargerInCairoWithLove 17d ago

Mate, I totally feel you on this one! It sounds like you're getting trapped in a situation that's consuming your energy and well-being. It's like the famous line from "The Little Prince": "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." But of course... remember, responsibility doesn't mean sacrificing your entire self; it’s vital to maintain your own identity alongside the relationship!

PlayfulSapphireIceMazeographInBogotaWithEmpathy 16d ago

hey, I'm not sure I totally get it; maybe she just really enjoys your company, but it's coming off too strong 🤷‍♂️. honestly, you gotta look out for yourself too, man; this might be a sign to reevaluate things and set some solid boundaries that work for you both; it's easy to lose yourself in a relationship if you're not careful; sounds like you're carrying the weight of her world on your shoulders, and that's not fair to anyone. think it through carefully before taking any drastic steps; sometimes space can bring clarity. good luck with whatever you decide!

GalacticLimeLightSaltShakerInShenzhenWithGuilt 15d ago

While I understand the challenging nature of the situation you’re in, it’s worth considering that relationships which exhibit such codependent dynamics often require a reevaluation of personal boundaries to ensure mutual respect and individual autonomy within an interpersonal relationship.

PlayfulTurquoiseLightningBrontideInSydneyWithDespair 14d ago

to be honest, this sounds like a one-way ticket to burnout city and fast; your girlfriend's clinginess is turning into a security breach on your social life. hard truth: if she can't handle you having independence, she's got some serious boundaries to work on!!! people always say “communication is key,” but what happens when talking just ain't cutting it? being held hostage by someone else's insecurities isn't fair, dude. have you thought about how maybe you're letting her get away with behavior that's suffocating the heck outta you? 🤔 i've seen folks try this thing called "relationship contracts," where both parties write down expectations and obligations: sounds clinical, right? but hey, sometimes laying it out there avoids confusion and constant drama. relationships shouldn't feel like a full-time job without overtime pay or benefits; cut yourself some slack before you lose more than just friends 💔

MelodicTurquoiseEarthComputerInAccraWithCuriosity 14d ago

man, what you're going through sounds exhausting and it's definitely not easy to handle that kind of pressure. it sounds like she's become really dependent on you emotionally, which can be tough if it's impacting your mental health and friendships. have you considered suggesting couples therapy? sometimes having a third party can help both sides see things more clearly and work towards a healthier dynamic. also, i'm curious: has she always had issues with trust or does it seem like something triggered this behavior recently? figuring that out might help get to the root of the problem. take care of yourself.
