I was collecting my man's bottles but he recently quit so this is the final stage of the alcohol bottles, now he drinks Pedialyte!

He used to drink 2 pints a day, I'm happy for him, I knew he could do it

Whats the significance of collecting these? Genuinely curious

I just miss him a lot and it reminded me of him. Now I just have the one Pedialyte bottle because that's what he drinks now. It's harder to get the Pedialyte bottle because he doesn't finish those around me as much

Where is he?

How am I supposed to answer this question

u/AzucarParaTi 21h ago

Usually people live with their SO. So like, is he dead, or in rehab, that kind of thing.

As much as I wish he lived with me, he doesn't. He lives with his brother.

Me and him met almost 3 months ago and we've just been together ever since

You’ve known him for 3 months and are already this deep into your level of obsession with this guy?? Op please seek help. Seriously. I’m alarmed and just get more concerned for you based off every post on your profile I read

I was just asking why you keep repeating that you miss him.

u/Chemical-8348 9h ago

Because I wish he was with me, I wish we could spend more time together, I love his company

u/whineyinternetkid 16h ago

What are you even on about

u/kris10leigh14 8h ago

Do you both have jobs or go to school?

I’m asking these questions for a reason, ignore anyone talking shit.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes and learned from them eventually.

If your life and your every thought revolves around him, that’s eventually going to be too much for him to handle. You can’t expect one person to bear the weight of your life.

Especially now that he’s sober- you have to find something else to immerse yourself in at times.

If he realizes how much you’re expecting from him and decides to leave you, you will be absolutely devastated and have no one to talk to about it or help you move on from it.

Yeah we both work, also I know that's why I'm working to be more positive especially around him.

He doesn't like when I overthink because I genuinely give myself panic attacks and he doesn't like seeing me so hurt.

I love him so much, I'm still locking in with him because we promised we would lock in together. We've been doing good, I've been working more and he quit alcohol and started working more too.

AHHHH I miss him so much 😭 I can't wait to see him again 💓

u/kris10leigh14 8h ago

Yea you’ve got to find somewhere else to channel these feelings - it is too much for one person to carry.

You’re like, fiending for him and it’s probably a shit ton of pressure on him when it’s supposed to be the fun time/easy breezy part of the relationship.

I’m only saying this because I swear I can still feel a tinge of heartbreak for the couple guys I displayed the same behavior with. It also hurt them to leave me because there was no glaring reason, it was all just too much for them.

The first was in 9th grade and the second was the first guy I moved in with when I was 20. And that’s how I learned this.

I don’t understand what “locking in” means in this scenario. Is it in reference to his sobriety?

1

u/Chemical-8348 8h ago

No the locking in is in reference to us focusing on getting our lives better and stable.

Also it's not the emotions I have towards him that he minds, it's the fact that if I focus too much on my own emotions and insecurities I'll start self-sabotaging.

He thinks how I am towards him is cute and sweet, he just doesn't want me to get hurt because of my own brain making stuff up

No one is talking shit. People are genuinely concerned for this OP. Stop conflating people telling OP that they have some problems with "talking shit".

u/kris10leigh14 4h ago

I agree with you 100% was just hoping I could get them to hear what I was saying. No such luck.

u/astralchanterelle 17h ago

why do you always miss him?

1

u/Chemical-8348 9h ago

Because I went to be with him and I wish he was with me
