Being overly sensitive that anything can offend them . <| sep |> What do you do when you have a bad day and you ' re by yourself ? Have a bath ? Read a book ? Go for a jog ? Whatever it is , do that . Because you had a bad day and its important to break the cycle of crappy feelings . The older you get the more you will realize things like monthly anniversaries are just a breeding ground for resentment over unarticulated expectations . Treat today like any other day . Going forward it would be good to have a conversation about how much you rely on him in general . Do you have hobbies that take up your time ? Do you two maintain your independence ? Does your boyfriend feel like he is free to indulge in his hobbies and independence ? Because something about the way you ' re writing this screams codependency to me . And that is something you really want to avoid .
