I’m feeling a little helpless. For nearly the last year, I have been dating an amazing guy. We get along so well and really do care about each other but he struggles with anxiety and abandonment issues. Usually, he does a very good job of communicating with me how I can be most supportive and I really feel as if I’m trying my best for him every day. This semester, many of his friends travelled abroad while he stayed put at university. He is overwhelmed with classes, thinking about the future, and the fact that so many of his friends are gone. I just want to be there for him but I don’t know how. Recently, he has stopped talking to me about his feelings and we’ve spent less time with each other. When we are together, I feel as if he’s mad at me and I don’t know what to say or what to do to at least have us communicate with each other. I know I can’t fix his problems but I’d like to at least be someone he feels he can trust and talk to. Any advice is welcome.
