Any advice? My partner recently ended our relationship and of course I'm going through and thinking about what I could have done differently. I know it's not all my fault and he should have &nbsp;been more understanding, but I'm wondering what I did due to anxiety... For example, was worrying about why he didn't always want to be with me normal because he was withdrawing or was it anxiety? Does it matter?
