My partner has always been anxious but it is now worsening to the point where our lives are becoming more and more inhibited. It started off as ' not liking flying' or not coping well in stressful situations. However this has progressed to not flying, going on a train, a ferry or car distances over three hours. Also he does not want me to travel as he gets more anxious if I am not with him. This is spreading to the point where he is not willing to attend my brothers wedding, which hurts me and offends my family. I really want to help and support him. He is my future and I love him very very much. However, I feel that if I bow to pressure and not see my family so much whom i see around four times a years (they do not live in this country) I feel that this will benefit neither if us, and i am already beginning to feel resentful. I do not want to 'encourage' this behaviour althogh i am aware that he cannot help it. It is really beginning to drain me as i want to be supportive.
