My Boyfriend is my only close friend

I’m 27 right now & it’s my first relationship, I really loved him it seems that I’m emotionally attached to him, However at the back of the mind it seems that this relationship is unhealthy, We really loved reach other & I cannot leave because sometimes I saw myself to him. He’s the only person who I can speak about my problems, dreams, wellbeing, happy & sad moments, He’s the only who gets me.

Hi Renzo.

That’s not necessarily unhealthy, but you’re right in thinking that it would be better for you to have more close friends than just your partner. No one ever tells us that making friends in adulthood is harder than it actually is, but we still have to make that effort and connect with others as we are very social animals. Try to find hobbies to do outside of your relationship; hobbies that you can share with other people.

Apart from finding more friends though, a good point of reflection for you is why you think this is “unhealthy” for you. If you get some clarity on that, it might help you with how you want to move forward.

Hope this was helpful. :slight_smile:
