If my brother or bf takes too long to send an "I'm safe" text, yes I prompt them by texting first.


And yes I feel I have to, no its not because I'm manipulative or controlling.


Why then?

Because I worry, naturally. Add the fact that my brother has been in two motorcycle accidents and my bf sometimes drives home alone at 3am and both of them are easily distractible = forget to text me, and its no wonder I "have to" prompt them at times.


In other words I do it to decrease the amount of time I spend anxious.
