There are a million different ways high school romance can take after graduation. This young woman and her boyfriend decided to continue theirs, moving to the same town and attending the same university.
However, the boyfriend felt her constant attention was suffocating, so she worked on building independence: she resumed old hobbies, spent more time with friends, and found a job.
But as the woman became independent, her boyfriend’s expectations started shifting. He grew increasingly frustrated that she was less attentive and less available.
The woman turned to the internet for advice, asking whether their relationship could be saved or whether the new dynamic revealed deeper incompatibilities.
