I’m so burned out from working and I talk about it with my boyfriend. But I don’t want to drive him away (complaining too much). Maybe I’m just overthinking this, he’s been nothing but nice to me.

I dated someone who always complained and it got really annoying at some point, it felt like we only talk about her clients, teams and managers all the time. So I suggest you either not talk about it or find a job that won’t make you stressed out.

Yeah I can see that. I only talk about it whenever he asks me how my day went. Other than that I try my best not to talk about work as much when we’re together. Also doing myself a favor because it’s a break from work. Trust me, I’m not gonna be doing this next year!

You are stressed and as you’ve said burnt out. I’m sure he understands. Maybe you can think of an unwinding activity so you don’t complain too much if that’s how you feel. It’s normal to have days when you just want to rant and vent out. A quick walk in the park or a day trip if you get the chance despite being in the middle of busy season.

Well... work will always be there, I keep telling myself that 😂 he will understand to a certain extent but you can find ways not to rant and vent to him. Talk to someone in the same circle and work environment/industry. My best friend is an engineer and he doesn’t get our struggle in PA. I don’t get his shit either but once in a while, it’s a good outside perspective. My partner is a respiratory therapist and we clearly are in different worlds. But hey, when you’re with someone, it’s part of the contract 😂😂

I bitch about it to former coworkers and other people in PA instead of my wife. She’s gets some of it, but a lot of the time, I just can’t put her through listening to more PA BS.

Going through a terrible breakup. Whenever I wake up, either in the morning or from a nap, I immediately uncontrollably cry because of the immediate thought that he is no longer next to me.

Does this feeling ever end?

His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.
