Ever since my fiance went to prison about two years ago, and our friends disappeared, I’ve been really avoiding letting people in. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people that know my situation and have passed no judgement on me, but I’m getting increasingly introverted. I don’t want to spend time with anyone outside of work. I tend to get really anxious and search for ways out of social situations. I ignore calls and make excuses. My fiance is pressuring me to spend time with his family or those friends that have kept their distance but never blatantly ignored my phone calls. Sometimes, he’ll make plans with his family that will result in them imposing and showing up at my house to spend time without asking me first, which has caused a lot of anger and depression for me. I’ve spent too much time on my own, that I fear when he does finally come home in February, I may not be able to pull myself out of this.
