This is kinda petty but my brain just won’t stop worrying. See I’ve been with my boyfriend for about 5 months now. We only message through text and see eachother once a week but that usually works for us. Well we often tell eachother we love each other, but this week he hasn’t said it once, and I may not be able to see him this weekend cause he’s getting the vaccine shot and might be affected by the side effects.

Anyway, I know he loves me, he’s done so many romantic and loving things for me. So why does not hearing him say it at least once this week make me worry he’s losing interest when I know for a fact that’s not the case… (ps I must emphasize he’s shy so I understand why he doesn’t say it as often as I do…)

Basically… anxiety is the annoying nag that tries and almost succeeds in making me doubt reality
