My partner keeps telling me he loves me and wants to be with me, but I can't help but feel like he is holding something back. It's like he is guarding his heart with a fortress. I want to trust him, but it's hard when my past relationships have left me with trust issues the size of Mount Everest.
To add fuel to the fire, my partner's job is like a jealous mistress that demands all his time and energy. I feel like I'm constantly playing second fiddle to his work. I don't want to be a selfish partner, but I also don't want to sacrifice my own happiness for the sake of the relationship.
And if that wasn't enough drama for you, enter the disapproving family members. They're from a traditional background and think we're a bad match. Their disapproval has caused tension between me and my partner. It's like they're the evil step-parents that won't let us live happily ever after.
So here's my dilemma: do I confront my partner about his commitment issues? Do I compromise more in the relationship and accept that their job will always come first? Or do I just focus winning over the disapproving family members or distance myself from them?
I feel like I'm stuck in a never-ending cycle of confusion and uncertainty. Anyone got some advice????
