My boyfriend and I have been together for about 6 months. At first things were great. He told me that I was “The One”, he did romantic things, messaged me every day, we spent time together, not as much as I wanted but it was still good.

But recently I feel like he’s pulling back. Like sometimes he takes ages to reply to my messages and it drives me crazy cos I want to message him but I don’t want to double-text and look needy. But inside I’m like waiting and when he does finally reply it’s such a relief yet I feel angry at the same time. I try to act cool about it, but sometimes I also take my time to reply so he knows what it feels like…

I read somewhere that telling my child my problems will give her anxious attachment.

But doesn’t it bring us closer together if we can tell each other our problems and support each other? And isn’t it good for my daughter to learn what the world is really like? My mum told me her problems too, and it made me feel close to her…
