I am flooded with thoughts and emotions about how my partner would be happier with someone who is more mentally stable and generally more upbeat. I am often irritable, withdrawn, and overwhelmed. I tell them I am not feeling and behaving in a way I would want my partner to. They say they want to be with me and my fears of being too much are not true. I just cannot believe they couldn’t be happier with someone else and it makes me feel terrible, like I’m holding them back.
