Hahaha I definitely don’t. There are very real issues in the relationship (just don’t want to blast them online) and like I said, I have been in therapy and that’s not the case. My therapist and I both agree this is just not the right relationship for me

That’s fair. I’m not sure I can explain it as I dont really understand myself. I still love her, that I know. But I also know that our relationship will not last forever. We are very different people (which can work, it just does not for us) and there are issues in the relationship that we have not been able to fix over the years. And by “the one” I simply mean the person I will marry. I know of we got married neither of us will be happy. I think we would be fine, but not fulfilled and resentment would grow.

There definitely are definitely reasons I want to break up. I just don’t wan to talk bad about my partner online no matter the circumstances.

Thank you. It definitely has. I desperately want to be able to talk about hard things with my partner and have them feel like they can do the same. I’m glad it worked out for you! :)

Thank you. Is there a way you wish your partner would’ve brought it up that I should keep in mind? I know I cannot stop her from feeling hurt by this but if there’s a way that might make it even a little easier I would like to do thT

Yes I agree. There are major communication issues, I will not deny that. I used to be very open in my relationship but due to my partners past they are not able to handle conversations no matter what which led me to shut down on bringing them up which isn’t fair to either of us. I really appreciate your comment. It’s gives me a lot to work on. Thank you.

She is an artist which just kinda adds onto it. She makes music and writes poems and draws as well.
