My guilt is what makes me stay. I feel terrible. I dont feel happy in this relationship but I stay because he wants me to. But he makes me feel like I'm bad for talking to a friend. If I receive even one message he makes a comment on it, even if it's just my mom or dad or family in general. He makes me feel guilty for wanting to see my family. He makes me feel guilty for going to work when he stays home and does nothing. When j try to leave he guilty me, saying I didn't try hard enough. He claims we are perfect together, but I feel trapped. As if the walls are closing in around me slowly. One of these days I might lose it, and not by anger but by depression.
I never knew it was possible to feel guilty for being "selfish" for trying to make my depression go away. Apparently its more important to focus on him instead of trying to avoid hurting myself. Sometimes I dog my nails into my skin so I can quit thinking to feel the pain of something else. He doesn't see it. He doesn't see that I'm unhappy apparently.
I feel guilty for asking him to show emotion. Not like crying and anger but facial expressions. He never looks happy and when he does it's not when I talk to him or it's only when it's something hes talking about. He shows no passion for any of my interests. Aren't you supposed to have at least 1 thing?
People say I'm doing nothing wrong, but then, why do I feel so guilty though?

You shouldn't be feeling guilty, you have done nothing wrong. When I broke up with my ex last year, he also said I didn't try hard enough, but by us being with him and giving him countless chances to fix the problems, its our way of trying hard. You have tried hard to have a happy relationship. You have tried hard to make him happy, and in that process, you made yourself unhappy. Its time to put your happiness and health as priority now. If he cant appreciate you, he don't deserve you.
Replyi feel you.. i think it is good to separate ways when its no longer healthy for both of u.
ReplyYou should not feel guilty if you're doing nothing wrong, and you definitely are not doing anything wrong in that relationship. In my opinion, it sounds a bit like an emotionally abusive relationship, and you should definitely get out of it. If he tries to guilt you into staying, stay strong and leave. Ask a friend to be with you if you end it, maybe it'll help you.
