I thought my last boyfriend was a manipulative user so I was glad to let that 'relationship' die. Not only do I not think he was supportive, but I think he realized my frailities and over time took advantage of them and me. I wouldn't be surprised if that were true for some other people here; that they are in relationships with people who take advantage of them. Of course I recognize that I had a part in that 'relationship' because I made him my boyfriend. I've spent the time since I stopped seeing him getting myself together. I see you were asking specifically about anxiety and I'm sorry if my answer was too general for your specific question.
