Hi everybody, I'm starting to experience stress.

My girlfriend split up with me back in June after 2 years of being in a long distance relationship (we met up on 13 different occaisions in that time). She was my first love. I've just began to try and heal myself from that, when now it feels like my parents are fighting.

I think I could just be a little over cautious, after everything that happened with my ex, since I was unaware of a problem with us until she ended it. Now I feel like I've spotted problems with my parents and am immediately fearing the worst. I've been here before.

My mum and dad once went through a bad patch in their marriage, and at one point, my dad even cheated on my mum. Somehow, they got through it, and have seemed as happy as they used to be.. Only, according to my dad, things haven't been right for "nearly a week", I only noticed it a few days ago.

Am I just paranoid?? Has this been brought on after my recent experiences?? I really don't need my parents to create a bad atmosphere at home now. I'm trying to heal a broken heart, and now I feel like I'm losing everything close to me.

Guys, I know there isn't much you can do for me, but I'll take anything right now. Please tell me what you think. :'(

Keep calm, and take a breath, double check your observations. You could just be over reacting taken you just lost your first love everything would be clouded now. Since its so hurtful you expect everything else to go bad as well. Your spotting problems with your parent's relationship could just be paranoia, but also shows that your able to inspect things better. That breakup could be a bad thing, but if it did leave you with better observation and even if its just a paranoid observation, it just means your more aware of the future outcomes of current events. Also, if anything is wrong with your parents relationship-wise (god forbid) I'm sure they'll be able to get through it, since they got through the other situations. I hope this helps. Good luck on everything. Fixing a broken heart is one of the hardest things to do.
