We've been together for about 9 months. Things were rocky at first, but got better after about two months. About once a month she seems to freak out and can't relax around me. She says she's had anxiety all her life, and she is seeing a therapist, but I can't help but feel angry and frustrated.
Her anxiety is controlling the relationship in every way. For example, she refuses to plan anything ahead of time. Sometimes when she has a weekend off, we'll make plans and she gets so anxious about it that we don't go out, or if we do it's uncomfortable because she won't talk or act natural.
I've tried to be supportive so far, but I can't help feeling like I should leave her. What can I do to help her feel more comfortable around me?
We have great communication and I do understand the reasons why she feels anxious, but it still frustrates me that sometimes I don't hear from her for days because she freaks out so bad.
She's definitely not cheating, as some people might think. And I really do think she wants to be with me. What should I do here?
