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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
