I'm Terrified That One Day I Will Not Be Enough For You

My greatest fear in a relationship is the other person waking up one day and deciding that I'm not enough.

Here's the thing about me: I'm not afraid of being cheated on. Rather, being cheated on isn't my biggest fear. Don't get me wrong, getting cheated on sucks and it hurts, but it's not the thing that bothers me the most.

My greatest fear in a relationship is the other person waking up one day and deciding that I'm not enough. My greatest fear is that they'll wake up and change their mind. They'll look at me through different eyes and instead of kissing me, they'll tell me how things just aren't the same. One day my asymmetrical dimples won't be cute, the scar on my face from the time I walked into a branch won't be endearing. My anxiety will be too great of a burden. My forgetfulness will be a bother. My laugh won't be music, but rather nails on a chalkboard. My occasional jealousy is no longer a reminder of how much I care. My constant chatter of random topics, less intriguing and more annoying.

I worry that my flaws will one day be the only things they can see. No, my greatest fear in a relationship isn't being lied to, but rather the person waking up one day and deciding that they just don't love me anymore. I worry, in a relationship, that one day I won't be enough for them.
