Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 21-year-old male and I have a partner of 19 years. We go along well. But my problem is that I overreact a lot on her actions. Like if she does not text me, my mood gets changed and I will be angry. But, I want to change myself. I want to change my attitude. I want to be more friendly. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The first important thing in a relationship is that do not force her for anything and accept her however she is. Do not try to change her. Give her personal space. If you overreact then you may lose the love and respect for you. Spend some quality time with her and try to know her likes and dislikes. Take care of her. Do not make her cry and do not get possessive for anything. Trust her. Let her know that you are waiting for her response.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
