Stress Center Peer Support

So I have been in a funk for a while. I am unhappy with my living situation. I live with my boyfriend and his sister and we don't really get along. We have been together 5 yrs and we moved in together only 3 months into our relationship. I really want to get my own place. Not really because I want to be away from him (although I think it would be good for us) just because I feel like i need to be in my own space.

My anxiety and OCD does effect him and he puts on a tough face even though I know he gets frustrated. I love him and I am pretty dependent on him because I don't really have a social life because of my anxiety. Is getting my own place the right thing?

It may be a good idea to move out and get your own place if you feel your living situation is stressful or uncomfortable. It may also be good since you said you are so dependent on your boyfriend, it may you give you a new found independence.

It doesn't hurt to try, or maybe can you get a new place with your boyfriend without the sister? Good luck in whatever you decide.
