P.s. to clearify he`s always made it a point to be in contact with me all the time like to the point where he was obsessed! i hated it at first in the early years of our relationship but i slowly adapted figuring he needed the extra support that has gone on for the 7 or the almost 8 years we`ve been together and this past year that need for him to be in constant contact and always be with me has suddenly seems to vanish. you`d think that id be happy to get my space to breath back but its the opposite. being in a smothered, unhealthy relationship has forced me to conform to his ill way of thinking but finally getting space has caused me to spiral into depression, constant anxiety and stress. boy am f-ed up and was f-ed with my own issues before I even met him!
