Ok, so my gf of 2 years and I have moved into a big city (STL) and we are starting our lives there. I’ve already recieved my degree in biology and shes goin to school for nursing. We both work (her part time, me full time til i get into grad school).Its been 3 months since we’ve moved here and things are starting to go sour.
Before we moved to STL, I was in washington state for an internship. Sadly to say, while i was there, I got lonely, and therefore needy/clingy to her. Once I got back into Missouri…things didnt improve much for me. Since i graduated, all of my friends were now gone to seperate parts of the country, and I was looking for a job. Since I had no job, My gf and I moved into my parents house in Saint louis while she went to school and I looked or a job (something which put some stress on both parties). I still was attached to the hip with her becuase I literally had no other friends or people to identify with, especially in this new city.
Finally, about 2 months into being in Saint Louis, I found a job and was starting to make money. The problem is, I am completely uninterested in my job and the only ppl there to talk to are 40 y/o + introverted scientists…but its decemt money. My gf isnt having any neediness problems because she is constantly surrounded by ppl her age in both school and work (she just got a job as a waitress). So now, im working 10 hour days and come home to watch our kid of 15 months while she is working and going to school around ppl her age, while im bored out of my mind!! I just want to go back to school so very badly and make some friends up here in the city.
Sometimes, my loneliness and neediness for my gf turns into jealousy and sometimes paranoia that shes cheating on me. This is only making the problem worse for me. Instead of crowding her, i also constantly question her now. Im not sure that i can keep this up much longer. I need something in this city that i can enjoy, or someone to talk to.
We recently got an apartment and are in the process of moving in, but i feel that our relationship is damaged to a great deal now that we were constantly around each other, getting on each others nerves while i was clinging to her for dear life. Does anyone have any comments or advice that they could give me to get through this shitty transition point in my life?
