We’ve been together for nearly 6 years but recently found out my boyfriend has major commitment issues (marriage etc) and avoidant issues. I am trying to trust his words of love but having doubts. I haven’t had doubts in our relationship until now. We decided to work on this and seek therapy etc, but I am starting to feel some anger and the feeling of I deserve better. I don’t really know what to do. Is this enough to break up? How do people get through rough patches in long term relationships and trust their relationships even after such difficult times?

Edit: In a difficult discussion few weeks back he basically said he has been anxious about committing (marriage) and in the discussion said that I maybe love him more than he loves me. That was kind of my breaking point and even after apologies, realising he is dealing with avoidant attachments, and him deciding to seek therapy, I just can’t get it off my head and doubting the fundamentals of our relationship. Like what we have been building for so long. I am also starting to feel like maybe I deserve better, and if he can provide me that security after this.
