Feel like a burden

moving in with my partner seemed like a grand idea at first. but now, as i find myself rattling around our place while they face the grind at work, doubts creep in. i'm haunted by this nagging notion: am i just dead weight here? it's not like I haven't tried to bring it up, catch them between meetings or late-night…

I (F25) have this deep rooted belief (supported by unfortunate past experiences) that once new friends begin to know me more and spend more time around me they will quickly lose interest in maintaining our friendship.
