❗️Separation anxiety❗️

I have terrible separation anxiety when my husband and I are away from each other for more than a day. I get nauseous and have panic attacks if we have to be apart over night. We have been married for almost 8 months, and together for just over 3 years.

He had a little bit of a tricky past. (Heavy heavy drinker/borderline alcoholic, drinking and driving etc.)

That was before I even met him.

The anxiety doesn’t come from his past and worrying he will do any of that again (he was in college at the time and now he is 32 and matured and grown up)

It’s not that I don’t trust him either.

I just physically, emotionally and mentally can’t be away from him over night.

He has a couple friends getting married next year and I am already having panic attacks thinking about him having to go to bachelor parties and he would be gone overnight.

I know I sound pathetic, but I was diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder and borderline personality disorder a few years ago. (So please be gentle)

My husband and I talk about it a lot and he said that he wouldn’t go and save me the anxiety and him the anxiety thinking about me being anxious at home.

He said friends come and go, but I am the most important thing to him and my mental health comes first.

While I appreciate and love him for that, my anxiety disorder makes me worry that he will resent me for it some day.

Should I take my husbands word for it and be grateful that he isn’t going?
