How does anxiety affect your relationship?

[Nomad]

I have no issue with anxiety, however, my spouse suffered from anxiety for a long time. Even though she has managed to control her anxiety, she still gets anxiety attacks whenever she is exposed to painful and frustrating situations or disturbing images. I have always been very supportive and never allowed anxiety to come between our relationships.

I wouldn't say that anxiety affects my relationship badly but it has been known to worry my other half when I do get anxious. I seem to get anxious about the silliest of things sometimes and that can sometimes leave him feeling a little frustrated as there is no reason for me to be as anxious as I am. Luckily he understands and is there for me.

Anxiety doesn't affect my relationship with my wife. If anything, she has compassion for me and talks me through it.
