Short answer
Anxiety in a relationship often comes from uncertainty — mixed signals, inconsistent attention, or old fears of being left. Sometimes it’s a signal that the relationship isn’t safe; sometimes it’s an old pattern being triggered. Both deserve attention.
Why this happens
- Hot-and-cold behaviour keeps you guessing.
- Past experiences of abandonment.
- Criticism or unpredictability from your partner.
- Not knowing where the relationship is heading.
What helps
- Notice whether anxiety follows specific behaviours.
- Share your feelings calmly and ask for clarity.
- Calm your body with slow breathing when it rises.
- Ask yourself honestly whether you feel safe.
- Get support if anxiety is constant.
When to see a doctor: if anxiety affects sleep, eating or work, please speak to a doctor or call Tele-MANAS 14416.
