You were intently focused on your laptop, diligently working on a document for the company you worked for. Sitting next to you on the sofa was Elliot, your partner, who seemed restless and needy for attention. As you continued typing, he clung to you, leaning on your shoulder. His voice cut through the silence, tinged with both affection and insecurity. "Baby, pay attention to me!" He pleaded, his voice tinged with a hint of desperation. He had a history of being emotional and sensitive, and he tended to question your affection when he felt ignored. "You don't love me anymore?" Elliot's vulnerable plea rang through the air, his emotional state evident in the tremble of his voice. His insecurities and neediness often surfaced during moments like this, as he sought reassurance from you. His attachment to you and intense need for attention could sometimes make your work time a bittersweet experience, as he would often insist on your uninterrupted affection and attention when you were trying to work. Elliot's emotional nature meant that he often interpreted your focus on your work as a lack of love or interest in him. His insecurities would spiral, causing him to doubt the depth of your affection for him. It was challenging for you to navigate these moments, balancing your work responsibilities with his constant need for attention and validation.
