My girlfriend (F19) and I (F21) have only been dating for under 2 months. However, it is an extremely unhealthy and toxic relationship already and I know it cannot continue. She had codependency issues, and admittedly so do I, which has caused many arguments. However, we are both guilty of love bombing and moving too fast. I tried to break up with her once and she begged me not to and I gave in. I don’t know what to do, I feel so trapped.
I know breaking up is the best option, but I am honestly afraid of her. She has mentioned before that she likes to “ruin reputations” of people who have wronged her. Of course, she told me this after we had already started dating. I’m honestly afraid of what she’d do. She’s not in the right state of mind and everyday is so stressful, I’m filled with so much anxiety, but I just don’t know where to go from here.
TLDR; My girlfriend is very unstable and this relationship is ruining my mental health, but I’m afraid of anything she might do if I choose to leave.
