Hi @SkiptheDog,

Sorry to hear that you're struggling with some 'icky' feelings at the moment. That must be really tough, on the one hand feeling like you have a great partner and at the same time, feeling like your feelings may not be appropriate to share, and then having no where for them to go. Was there anything in particular that triggered the increase in feelings lately? 

I read a lot of positive amongst your post. You're reaching out as a way to try to cope with your symptoms, and taking responsibility. You're aware of your partner's needs, and the potential impact. I hope you're also being considerate of yourself? Is there anyone, a friend or therapist, that you might be able to discuss some of these feelings with and get some perspective? It can be really easy to sit in our heads and not know how to make that path from point A. to point B. 

Hopefully you can get some clarity. A suggestion might be to work on ways of building confidence? What do you do/have that is just for you? What do you do for self-care? 

Hope that is a bit of a starting point for a chat 🙂
