In the first weeks of a relationship, my mental health struggles, especially with procrastination and avoiding hard tasks due to stress, may become apparent. I'm a young, honest person, so I'm planning to tell my partner what I'm going through emotionally and mentally, including the traumas I have and the toxic environment I come from, with narcissistic parents. However, I'm concerned that sharing this with my partner will turn them off, as I've heard from some of my girlfriends that they don't want a whiny boyfriend. Can you explain in detail how to approach this situation and communicate my struggles without pushing my partner away?
What should I take away from the situation where I was engaged with someone for 5 months who said he didn't feel a romantic connection after I told him I was moving to his city, despite us having a great connection and always enjoying our time together?
What should you do if you experienced an intense yet peaceful connection with someone, but after a first conflict due to severe past trauma, they shut down, went completely silent for three days, and did not answer your messages or calls? When they finally called you, they explained what happened and apologized for how they handled it but said they were not in the right headspace to continue and wanted to detach themselves from you. Should you continue to pursue them and tell them you can be there for them, or let them go completely, knowing they are most likely self-sabotaging or avoiding a deep-rooted issue?
