Dealing with Abandonment Anxiety in Relationships

Does anyone struggle with anxiety in their relationship? Specifically with abandonment. I’ve been finding it hard to accept words of affirmation and things like that and help myself understand that maybe they aren’t leaving. Because I can’t do that I pick fights to try and get the comfort from my partner but obviously it makes things worse. Does anyone have advice?

For me personally, I've uncovered that a lot of my insecure feelings in my relationship actually stem the way I feel about myself - until I can trust that I am enough, it has effected all my relationships.

I feel the same way in my relationship with my boyfriend. I have had a abusive mentally and emotionally relationship with someone before and have been cheated on more than once unitl I met the man I'm with now but I still feel scared of him leaving me and abandoning me or telling me he found someone new I have really bad anxiety about it I get in fights with my boyfriend as well over stupid things because it made me insacure but we are in couples therapy and it's helping a lot you should try that couples therapy helps with everything in the relationship maybe he or she could understand you better 😊

Hey! This has been something I struggled with for friendships and relationships alike. My best advice is to talk to them about your insecurity and see how you both can help you feel more comfortable :)
