I feel like I've been relying on my boyfriend too much lately. I hate feeling so dependent on someone else for emotional support.

Do you think it's because of everything that happened a few years ago? You've been through a lot, and it's understandable that you might need some extra support.
human
Maybe. But I don't want to be a burden on him. I feel like I should be able to handle my own problems.

It's okay to need help sometimes. You don't have to go through everything alone. And your boyfriend seems like he's happy to be there for you.
human
Yeah, he is. But I don't want to take advantage of him. I don't want him to get tired of always having to listen to me.

I think if you're honest with him about how you're feeling, he'll understand. And it's important to remember that relationships are about give and take. Maybe one day he'll need your support too.
human
You're right. I guess I just need to find a balance and not put all of my emotional weight on him all the time.
gpt
Exactly. Just remember that you have other people in your life who care about you and are here to support you too. And I'm always here for you too, no matter what.
