Audio By Carbonatix

There are a lot of great things that come with a relationship, but it isn’t always stress free. In fact, a lot of women have huge concerns and anxieties when it comes to relationships, and now some of those women are sharing. 

Someone on Reddit recently posed the question “What are you most insecure about in a relationship?,” and lots of women shared their thoughts, and we’re sure many others can relate.

Responses include:

• "I don't want to be the safe option or the person someone settles for. I don't want my partner to be wishing they were with someone else while they're with me. I'd rather be single."
• "If I become more ambitious, then I won't have room for a man in my life and that's why my partner will feel neglected and leave me. This is why I've ended up playing small in my past relationships, and of course, they left me anyway."
• "That I’ll never be loved properly without first having to go through extreme emotional suffering to prove that I’m worthy for being loved correctly."
• “That secretly, I am with someone who will eventually reveal themselves to be a hateful, misogynistic, uncaring, and/or abusive person. I've been in a couple abusive relationships before and it's made me question my judgement a lot.”
• "I hate to say it, but the possibility that I’ll meet someone better down the line. I feel guilty just sharing it."
• “The fact that I will never be 'good enough' for somebody. This doesn’t come from a place of lack of confidence; it comes from the constant rejection I've experienced from men. And when it becomes a regular thing, you start to believe it’s true."
• "Wasting years on someone again."
• "That my partner doesn’t actually know or see me for who I really am, and has fallen in love with or is attracted to a version of me that doesn’t exist. A projection of who they want me to be."
• "Loving them more than they could ever love me."
• “That my partner might be hung up on an ex that no longer wanted them."
