How to cope with fear of abandonment?

Post Reply New Topic

I found out that my ex boyfriend - who is also my best friend - has started a new relationship. He hasn't told me but I found out online, by connecting the dots.

We usually spend an afternoon a week in each other's company and this is still great, but he's not staying over to eat at mine now once we get back to mine. I fear that I will lose him and I had a big breakdown as a result today. He's the only real friend I have where I live. Several friends have stopped being friends over the past year.

Does anyone recognise this fear of abandonment and how do you cope with it?
