My girlfriend told me today that she doesn't feel the same way anymore. She has been acting distant the past month or so. Just not being as affectionate, feeling disconnected and just things feel off.
I have been struggling with my mental health for a long time and understandably with lockdown and my partner and I being forced to be together constantly these past few months has taken their toll because she has had no time to recharge her batteries.
She says me being ill and crying when I have depressed days has taken their toll. She has run out of energy and feels she tries to avoid me.
She said she still loves me and is in love with me, she just feels it has been so long since she has seen my personality that it can't help but effect how she feels.
I am having therapy and I am trying my best but obviously things havent been easy with lockdown and not being able to utilise my normal coping mechanisms such as going to the gym and going for coffee with a friend.
My heart feels broken that she says she doesnt feel the same. I completely understand that she is exhausted. I just feel like a massive burden and she is better off without me :(
Living with her whilst she is distant and disconnected is unbearable for me. I hate feeling like I'm trying to be close to her and I can't reach her. I feel alone and so does she.
This situation is making me feel worse :( I think we need space and time apart
