Hi @incognitophotos 💙I thought I'd weigh in as someone who also has anxiety and struggled with managing it in relationships.
You say that your previous longterm relationship was abusive, and triggered your anxiety. I also had a similar experience where the first relationship I ever had was with someone who basically gaslighted and ghosted me. As a result, the relationship I had following (which was with a guy who was genuinely a good person) was filled with anxiety, doubt and mistrust on my part because I subconsciously thought he was going to pull the same shit my ex did. do you feel like a similar situation could be happening with you? is it possible you're carrying some of the anxiety from your old relationship with you into your current one?
I'm sorry to hear your parents are being so difficult about it 😔have they given you any reason for why they don't like her? They could have a genuine reason, or they could just be being rude for no reason, so it might be worth talking to them about it.
I hope things start to look up soon, take care ❤️
