Best quote from Anxiety or Intuition: Decoding Relationship Fears
True intuition tends to feel calm and clear, while anxiety feels frantic, urgent, and repetitive. It's like one is a quiet knowing and the other is an alarm bell that won't stop ringing.

I'm feeling really anxious surrounding my husband. We have a contact Ivo in place and I'm constantly checking my phone to see if he has messaged and when he doesn't I feel anxious like he doesn't love me any more. And I feel like he might not love me as much even though he says he does. So I don't know if it's anxiety or intuition. But it's ruining my day and time with him.
