How to avoid drama in a relationship?

I am too cautious of getting hurt and watch out for any moves that would suggest possibility of things going wrong. It gives me anxiety at times. I have been happy with him. He reads me too well. It is hard for me to hide if I am upset or hurt. He asks me questions and then I give in. I am getting tired of the dramatic conversation once every week. I feel like a totally different person when under anxiety. This anxiety is annoying me and I want to get rid of it!

    You should not have to hide your feelings. If your boyfriend is a decent person, he will be understanding.

    Here are my best ways of avoiding drama: 1) Have a clear sense of boundaries and respect for each other. 2) Be at the same level of attraction for each other, the same amount of needs and an equal amount of love for each other. No good if one is in love and the other doesn't feel more than affection, as the one with the most love has the least power in the relationship. 3) Having common ideals, morals and similar goals. 4) Having friends and interests OUTSIDE the relationship that do not cause conflict. 5) Not rushing into greater intimacy and dependence with each other. 6) Being friends first, and not being selfish to each other. 7) Having a sense of humor, being able to laugh at yourselves, not being catty or cruel.

    Your anxiety is an important issue, so please get help as best as and as soon as you can.The understanding of and elimination of stress factors must be a priority and will help in ALL aspects of your life.

    With all that said, be of good cheer and try to have a little more faith in the bloke. It seems scary that he knows you so well, but this shows that he cares for you and has been paying attention to you in a lot of ways. You are WORTH a lot, I can see that and I am pretty certain he sees that too! Let him love you, and love yourself and him, and I hope your lives are filled with love, laughter and music. Good luck and bless you, sweet sister.
