What a wonderful thing to have a forum like this where people can support each other. So happy to have found this.
I don’t imagine that I am alone in what I am feeling, and hope that you all can share some insight on what helped you.
I’m 25 years old, and have been living with my partner for about a year and a half. We have been together nearly three years total. Lately…some very familiar feelings of the past have started to creep up. I have started to get annoyed with him a lot more..I am very sensitive to all the little teases and jokes that come from him. I am unable to take criticism from him. Comments from him about how to improve something are hard to take positively.
Lately I have been thinking about how our relationship started. He went on a date with me while still in a relationship with his ex girlfriend. He claims they broke up soon after our date. But the idea hurts me. Last March, I found a post of his on a public forum (similar to this one) that he is “compelled to find someone” that makes him feel the way his first love did (different than the ex before me).
I never tell people these things…because I know they will think of him differently. Judge him, perhaps. I certainly didn’t tell my therapist. Still…as I write these things out, I am so deeply saddened. Embarrassed that I did not value myself enough to end things with him at each of those times. Disgusted that I feel this way…and simultaneously feel so much love for how much he has helped me grow.
I guess I’ve started to see him as a reminder of how weak I can be sometimes. How desperate for love, that I will let anything pass. I care about him. I don’t want to end this, but I want to value myself. Is it possible for me to give myself love and see him with compassion once again? Can I continue to grow in this relationship?

i wish you find any solution of yours probelm ! thanks

To understand better I ask:
1. Can you give examples of his teases and jokes and how you believe he is criticizing you (“all the little teases and jokes that come from him. I am unable to take criticism from him”).
2. Did you ask him what he meant by being “compelled to find someone” that makes him feel a particular way, if it means he is compelled to search for a woman (who is not you) and is actually searching?
