I’m 20, in college, and have been dating the love of my life, Daniel, for 3 years. My relationship is great. But every once in a while I get into this rut where I’m just sad. It stems from my parents not liking my SO very much and I kind of recently “broke up” with my best friend. I don’t make friends easily so I’m feeling very alone. My boyfriend is great to talk to but sometimes I just need another woman to talk to.

People from high school (and one of my cousins my age) are getting engaged and married and everyone is so happy for them. Even little things that happen with me and Daniel that I want to share, I feel I can’t. Like good things. I can’t tell my mom cause she doesn’t like him and she’s not happy for me. She fakes it sometimes but I can tell she’s not. And I don’t have a close friend I talk about relationshipy stuff with.

My parents make me feel small and young, like a child. I know they have more life experience than I do but I still have been through some shit. They make me feel like I’m incapable of make decisions for myself. I’ve talked to them about this but it doesn’t really change how I feel whenever I visit home. If I want to do anything (almost) that they disagree with, they threaten to stop paying for college.

So I just feel alone. Some encouragement would be nice. If you want to hear more, message me.

(Sorry it turned into to so much “relationship talk” lol)
