Why am I never happy when I'm in a relationship? My gf moved in with me about 1 1/2 years ago, and now I can't stop thinking about how awesome it was when I lived alone. I mean she's great. I should be happy. She's pretty, she cooks for me, she cleans, does my laundry, etc. Even when I try to help out she tells me to go sit down. And yet I feel like I'm in prison. All the stuff she does for me now I used to do myself, and I didn't mind it then, and now I miss it. I think it's because I feel like I'm becoming dependant on her and losing my independance, and I HATE that. I like being independant and doing things for myself. Before I met her I was single for almost 2 years, and I LOVED it. I loved having my house to myself. It seems I'm happier when I'm single and free to do what I want.
Heres a quick background on my childhood and how I grew up. I lived with my father from the age of 6 or 7. Didn't see or speak to my mother very much from my teens on. Saw my dad go through lots of rocky relationships.
Sometimes I worry that I just can't be happy in a long term relationship, but at the same time the thought of being in a long term relationship makes me cringe. To me it means the end of my freedom.
So what about it? Am I seriously messed up or what?
