All in my head? (quick intro and my problem)
Hello everyone. I guess I'm kind of using this as a last resort because I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
I'm a 25 year old woman living in a very small town in a small state. Because of this and the fact that I don't go out much drinking or anything (which seems to be the thing to do here) all of the men I've been involved with I've met online.
I am currently involved with a man who I see as perfect for me, but there are a few problems. We've been together about nine months now, been living together for three. Just recently we got hooked up to the internet here at home. The problem is, he is very active online and had been without steady access for about two months. It's now been three weeks since we got online and we don't spend even half the time together that we used to. I'm feeling very much replaced.
It doesn't help that my depression comes with paranoid and low self esteem, so at times I can't help but wonder if he is spending a lot of his online time looking for someone else. I know I should not feel that way but it's always in the back of my mind.
I work nights and he's home alone awake all night so I guess I exspected him to spend his nights doing his online stuff and spending the day with me but that's not the way it's been. He's online all night but spends most of the day online as well. Unless we are eating for sleeping we are not together much at all.
I had a little break down the other morning and mentioned it to him, but of course I could not talk much because I was crying like a baby. And unfortunatly he's one of those people that doesn't talk, he's used to being alone so he doesn't notice it. On the other hand I've always been surrounded by family and friends that talk things through.
I'm just really confused. I try not to bother him when he is online because he tends to get a little snappy with me, which could also be in my head.
I know he is going through a hard time because he's not working right now and a few other person things are going on. Does anyone know what I should do or is there anything that I can do to help work these throughts out of my head. Most of the time I am sure that nothing is really wrong and I'm freaking about nothing but it always pops back up.
One of the main reasons it really bothers me is because my last boyfriend did the same thing and it ended horribly. Fortunatly this guy does not have any of the other horrible qualities of the last guy.
Sorry is this is confusing, but my brain is just over flowing right now, I don't even really exspect anyone to be able to help, but I might as well give it a shot. Thanks everyone. And sorry about the spelling errors, I don't have the energy to deal with it right now.
