New to the Relationship Stress Community? Introduce yourself here!! ❤️

Hi there,
I'm very new to 7 Cups, so profuse apologies if I'm using the platform incorrectly, guidance is much appreciated :) .
I'm a young adult currently in a wonderful relationship with a loving boyfriend of 1 month. He's been incredibly supportive, and has made me realise how beautiful a relationship can be.
This has sadly come with the realisation that my previous relationship was not healthy, and following research and reflection, have come to terms with the fact it was abusive and manipulative. I'm here to seek support and learn how to deal with my past. Whilst I'm sure my current boyfriend would be more than willing to talk this through with me, I don't wish to burden him, or make him uncomfortable.
I have already been lucky enough to speak with one of your wonderful listeners, which has helped lift a weight off my shoulders, and I am very appreciative of the support I've been shown so far.
Thank you,
ChaiTeaCups

Hi there,

I've joined looking for answers on how to change As i tend to love alot.

I love too intensely and passionately and it can be apparently over bearing. Have been unable to find the same in reciprocation and have never found the right relationship or balance.

It appears to be associated with attachment styles so I'm wanting to address the root cause of things.

I'm not young anymore and don't want to miss out sharing my life with someone.

When i go emotional short circuit, would be nice to hear reason so i don't spiral incorrectly.

Looking firward to supporting but also being supported.

Cheers

Mysty

Hello everyone!

My name is Mayra and I’m new here trying to figure out this website still and exploring some of the amazing things that they have here which I think are awesome and great resources. I been trying to find resources or any tips that could help me out with my toxic relationship that I’m currently in now. Not sure if you guys still check these posts because I see a lot of them that are from back 3 years ago. I just want to talk to more people that might be in a similar or at least part of the same relationship that I’m currently in, I cannot take it anymore I feel like I’m in a dark hole trap and I will never going to be able to come out. I currently live with 2 of my girls and my partner (Never been married). I also have 2 other boys that are not currently living with me anymore they are all independent living out of the household. So right now I’m stuck in a relationship of 14 years if you could call that a relationship at first my partner was really romantic and showed me he’s loved he even bought me gifts for my birthdays. But then a just a few years ago he started to began quiet not saying anything and then he just started drinking and drinking to the point that he cannot stop anymore. This is driving me insane I don’t like living with a person that is always drunk it also affects not only him, but also the entire family. I don’t know what happen to that sweet guy that I need before I miss him so much. I think that was only when we were girlfriend and boyfriend they act all romantic and such just to get what they want. Not sure what is going on with my partner I have tried to talk to him and ask him why he drinks so much and he doesn’t even know why. I’m thinking he is just depressed or something is definitely going on with him, he doesn’t pay attention to me anymore. He doesn’t shy no affection to me anymore so I feel so alone and hurt about this behavior of he’s. I don’t know if anyone has been in this type of relationship but to me is just concern to be toxic. We fight everyday and if we intend to go out all we do is fight and he just happens to be drinking and always rushing me every place we go. I think he is giving me lots of problems and I’m trying to make it work for the best of my girls but I’m just tired of all this. My depression, anxiety, diabetes is getting way worse and not sure if it’s because of he’s drinking problem. I will sure like to have some advice anything will help me I have no support or anyone I could turn to help me out. Thanks for listening if someone is still out there.. feeling emotional destroyed :(

Hello! I'm on 7cups to help me heal from cptsd and to cope with moving forward. My journey relationship-wise has been from going from one so-called man to another (in saying thst as they were toxic/abusers/etc....id also say so-called person/woman/etc). I didnt realize I was bisexual until recently but labels like that never really came to my attention. Love is love....I'm with a man now who not only is kind, patient, understanding, and just an amazing human being all around, but someone who I believe is my soul mate. And with thst I am also trying to cope, as happiness usually ends with tragedy in my life... I try not to think about this beong a Grimm fairytale but some days I am scared of that....

Hi, um I don't know exactly what to say..... My name's Kc I'm in my 20s I'm currently in a relationship of like 3 years(which is a rough guess because we never officially asked each other out but eventually just referred to us as a couple). I've been engaged for a little over a year now, and it's the first relationship I've had that's lasted more than 3 months. I don't have many friends, I'm kinda down to 1 and its been a while since I've talked to them. Both our lives are just a little to busy and draining to catch up often. I currently live with my S.O at his mother's place(I'm not the biggest fan of her, shes kinda nosy super OCD and is the kinda person that will either repeat the point of the conversation she started multiple times or beat a round the bush hoping you'll get the hint) and I guess that's all that applies to this community.... I don't know if that was to much... To late now

Hello I hope to get some information on how to support and comfort my friends who are struggling with their own issues. Also, help with how I can be a better friend to others. xandia❤️

Hi there!

I've never done this before especially in an online community but I'll try. There's this girl who I've been talking to for 2 months (?) now I think. Due to our schedules we're always busy, however whenever I have time I check upon her and try to talk to her. Although I think she's ghosting me and I don't know if I did something wrong or she's just really busy. But whenever I'm online I see she's been online too.
