Please keep in mind that this condition will never go away or "get better." It could improve through therapy or medication, but it still could have an impact on your mental health. Also, keep in mind that it could get worse, especially if kids get in the picture. I've been with my wife for 14 years and she has an anxiety disorder that results in pretty extreme emotions and anger on occasion. It has gotten better after about 2 years of therapy, but the 14 years of constantly worrying if she's going to have a bad day have definitely taken a toll on my mental health and our relationship. I'm not saying you should immediately dump her, but you sound just like I did 14 years ago and it has been a very, very difficult road. Do I love my wife? Yes, but more like a friend that I live with than a wife I should be mentally/emotionally attracted to.

Yeah I’ve been worried sick over this for days now, unable to eat properly and finding going to work and getting out really difficult. I’m going to my friend’s house over the weekend to have a distraction. This behaviour from him has been a bit of a turn off tho tbh, if he can’t be respectful enough of boundaries as small as simply not going through girls insta pages when he’s saying he can’t message me, then it might be better to find someone who can be respectful of those things

He doesn't get it. He doesn't care. Sit him down and explain that this is a deal breaker for you.

I've had that problem too. Set up his pay check for direct deposit to two accounts: a debit/checking and a savings. You can set up the savings that he can see it but not touch it or not see it at all.

He proposed buying another truck for $13,000. That's buys a very nice diamond ring.

Yes. That's the constraint here. Though my ex cheated on me and is dating someone else rn. When he knew I surprised A on his bday, he called me and was pissed off why was I still in touch with his friends. But A and me have been friends for like 2-3 years now. And we have become better friends than A and my ex.

H is cousin of A
