This is a bit light hearted, but also not.
I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing this. Due to COVID-19 I’m spending almost 24/7 with my boyfriend. In the past months I’ve noticed that I have created weird codependency (which I use casually, not in clinical sense). Which is so unlike me.
If I go somewhere I feel the need to get home at a decent time. Or if I have something on Monday AND Tuesday evenings I feel like that is too much. When the lockdown started I really needed alone time but I don’t need it anymore. When I do go on my own, I feel the need to bring something to him “to make it up”.
Today was clearly in a bad mood. Previously I would have gone to the office had my work day and maybe given him a bit more space at home. Nothing special. Today, I kept thinking if It was something I had done and tried to get his attention like a puppy and trying to fix it. That is not me.
I don’t let it stop me from going and he is not making me feel like I should be with him and not go. I’m independent with my own friends and hobbies. We are not a couple that is attached from the hip. But now that he is my only company on majority of days this has started to happen. It is not me and it weirds me out! Has this happened to you?
