Re: Boyfriend said he feels like a therapist or caregiver sometimes? - June 8th 2015, 03:47 PM

Hey Isabel,

I think it is natural to vent about our issues and our problems to our partners, it's only natural to want to lean on the person you are with for support. I think you should still be honest with your boyfriend about the way you're feeling.
Maybe you could consider also seeing a professional as well. It's good that you look to your boyfriend for support but maybe there are times where he feels like he is not able to offer any good advice. Having a therapist or a counsellor could help you to be able to vent to someone who is outside of your life and can give you an outside opinion and it's also someone who is there for the purpose of helping you.

Communicate with your boyfriend and see how he feels about you speaking to him, maybe he feels like you look to him a little too much for support. If you have friends to speak to then maybe you could also speak to them for some advice.

Best of luck,
Paige
