Hey all,
I wanted to know who feels this type of anxiety I have. I'm in a stable and happy relationship - but I come from a background that doesn't know what that means. Growing up, I had a very unstable household with a lot of arguments and changes.
So, I am living with my fiancee and, when we don't have anything planned and just hang out in the house doing our own thing, I feel extremely anxious. He'll be just watching TV or doing something else and I'll be playing videogames, but the entire time I'm feeling guilty and feeling "is this what couples do? am I boring him? should I be suggesting stuff to do?"
Then, when I do suggest stuff to do or ask if he is bored, he will say he's just fine chilling. I get really stressed out as I don't know how a couple's daily routine should feel like.
And BTW, this doesn't mean we don't do stuff or that we don't talk to each other or anything. It's more the fact that I can't deal well with the moment in which nothing is happening. But I'm like this with everything in my life...
What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
