I feel like a crazy gf when my bf goes out
I am not a controlling gf and I encourage my bf to go out with his friends every once in a while.
I’ve been struggling this week with feeling more sensitive than usual, and overthinking things which I usually don’t do. I also communicated this with my boyfriend and told him the little things he was doing that was making me feel this way (taking longer to respond than usual, not acknowledging all of what was said, and putting little effort into responses). It was so hard for me to tell him this bc now I’m embarrassed and feel like I was being “the crazy gf”. I was also on my period this week and was feeling like I just wanted some extra lovin lol
He went out with his friends tonight. I told him to have fun and please try to let me know where he’s going (there’s a bunch of bars on the Main Street and I just feel more comfortable knowing where he is and knowing that he cares enough to update me).
Most of the time he doesn’t update me much as I ask - and i don’t know if it’s worth telling him that I would feel more comfortable if he did those things bc ideally I want him to do these things genuinely bc he cares and I also do not want to make him feel like he “has” to answer to me bc then that would be controlling and effect his night. And I trust him where he wouldn’t do anything disrespect towards are relationship I just don’t like to not know what’s going on. How do I learn to not care!!!
I use these forums as a way to vent so thank you to anyone who listens and provides any advice 🤍
UPDATE: sorry for any confusion but I was explaining two separate instances here. I had my period last week and was feeling more emotional than usual and he wasn’t giving the same attention as he usually does so I started to overthink. I let him know that I was feeling a little sensitive and I was embarrassed afterwards for feeling this way bc I usually don’t and I hate to be the gf that has to ask for anything bc love and affection should be given genuinely.
A FEW DAYS LATER, he had a guys night planned. I asked him prior what the plans were and he said he didn’t know. Me and him both agree to let each other know generally what our plans are (where we’ll be and with who) and that’s all we ask of each other. he didn’t do that when he went out this weekend and I didn’t want to ask him after the instance I had days prior (just described above) because I was embarrassed that I had admitted to overthinking and didn’t want him to think I was overthinking again bc he didn’t tell me where he was. I think it’s perfectly healthy to let your SO know what your plan is. I do not expect my bf to respond to my texts or put effort into anything while he is out.
