Not sure if I'm going crazy or not

Default profile image
I've been with him for 4 years now and my life changed for the better. No more drinking every night, Etc. he's a private person and doesn't like being around a lot of ppl. I can't see my old friends or have a FB page bc he said he can't handle worrying about who I'm talking to. I have severe anxiety at this very moment. I love him and he's a good guy but I'm so unhappy. I feel like I'm being controlled and missing out on life. I'm only 31 and he's 32 but it's like we're old and stay in the house all the time. I need to breathe! Am I being unreasonable?

He's controlling you, but you mention no more drinking and your life has changed for the better. He may be worried you will revert back to your old lifestyle but if that's the case and he loves you, he has to risk it. But if your relationship was sound, you could do whatever you wanted to do and he wouldn't worry because he would trust you absolutely regardless of who were talking to. He would accept you completely for who/what you are and wouldn't worry about trying to change or control you. You have matured over a 4 year period.If you're 'choking' (anxiety) in the environment you're in, tell him and then see what happens. And If you need to breathe as you say, then you will, regardless of what he says or thinks. After all, you did say you're ONLY 31....

Thanks for responding. I know deep down what I need to do bc I have tried talking to him. He said if that's the way I feel then we need to go separate ways but at that moment I broke down and gave in. It didnt help though bc I'm still here freaking out about what to do. Thanks for the advice.

I did not read the other response, but i say get away as soon you can. You are being controlled and its likely too get worse. Out you think there's a chance of changes, you can work on them in therapy together when you have some physical distance. Dropping stay and be miserable, please. You deserve better. Gooduck, Jacinta

like manalone said i think he doesn't want you to go back to your old ways so this is his way to do it to block you from your old friends that were probably drinking with you but something has to change he has to trust you and let you breathe and go places he has to risk that you might go back or he can loose you or take the risk talk to him about it and see what he thinks about it
