I know it's not the best way to meet someone, but I met my boyfriend on Fortnite. He has been having trust issues cause people are using him and they are backstabbing him. I am the only person he trusts and apparently that isn't enough to keep him on Fortnite. 2 days ago, I was playing with him and his friends. My big brother joined and my boyfriend got a little upset because my brother stole his friends. My boyfriend said he was going to quit Fortnite and I don't know what to do. He hasn't been on and I have no other way of contacting him. I love him and I cant stop thinking about him. I don't know what to do... I miss him. We have been in a healthy relationship and we have been dating for 3-4 months. I don't want it to end because he is having trust issues. I really don't want to loose him.

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...

Hey All...I hope that you have a lovely, peaceful beginning of your weekI have a bunch of chores that need doing but may put them off til tomorrow and just hang out with my landlord/roomie todayWhat about you?...Anything special going on?Have a great day and take good care of you!!..Xo
I'm just saying.... there can be bad people out there who pretend to be a young guy, and so you really need to be careful about this.
Do your parents know you are talking to this guy?
Like others have said, this relationship is actually a friendship and that is not bad or wrong. It is normal at your age to feel it is love and not be able to stop thinking about him. It is your brain not having matured fully and hormones. Maybe you can just enjoy it for now and not label it a healthy relationship. That bothers me. He has anger management and trust issues and well, that means it can't be a healthy relationship.
A truly healthy relationship takes two people who are mature, have inner wisdom, and who are emotionally healthy themselves. Enjoy his friendship but be wise and be see things for what they truly are.
AND, of course you miss him. He was friendship, he liked you and validated you are a good human being, and now you don't have that daily contact. Kind of like going through drug withdrawal. I am sorry you are hurting so much. There is a saying that is very very true: "this too shall pass." As time move on, you will have your answers. He will not be the only boy for you ever. You will grow up and be able to go to college if you want or work a full time job and move out of the house. You don't need a boy/man to make you a valuable human being. you are worthy and valuable just as you are.
I agree to really take you time getting to know someone new.... It sounds like there's personality problems.... You can't fix anyone ... They have to do their own work....Big hug sweetie... xo
