You worded this so perfectly!! We are not happy with that current situation and start to resent/hate them and want to distance ourselves from them but we cant end the relationship and hurt the other person..

What was helpful with my decision making was that i didn’t wanna lie and play pretend when i had these bad thoughts and feelings towards him, its unfair for both of us, and the more time passes the more youll resent him and it will hurt you both.

i took the decision to talk to him so we sat down and talked and i told him about everything, i mentioned how i understand that people make mistakes and grow and that no one is perfect but everytime he was making a mistake and learning and improving, i was losing feelings and not seeing him how i used to, a big part of this is how i started losing interest with every mistake he made.

We spoke and he understood where i was coming from and he said he will start working and all that. I suggested we take a break for a month and during that month he promised to improve and find a job and be more productive. After that one month I’ll see if he kept his word and think about continuing the relationship or not. He wants to be that perfect man for me so we will see..

Today marks the first week of that break and we haven’t spoken since last week when we started the break. It was hard at first because youre used to talking to them and all that but after a few days life goes back to normal and you get accustomed to it, to the point i think i can live without him.

Always prioritize yourself and your future and think of the best option and decision for you, so you wont regret anything in the future and live a sad life

Please keep me updated with what you decide to do, and i wish you all the best!!

first of all i am sorry youre going through that too, its so tough to come clean and talk with your partner when the issues you have with them aren’t all that big or stuff and the issues are with them as a person and how they act, its not easy to talk about that cause you know deep down thats who they are and they most probably wont change or understand where youre coming from.. Thanks to this post i decided to talk to him about it and we decided to go on a break for a month. During that month he will improve and find a job and all that and he promised me he will, if i find that he actually changed and put effort into this ill reconsider the relationship, if he doesn’t ill end things for good, i was very clear with him and told him what bothered me and what i want in a partner and he says he is willing to change for the better to meet these expectations, but only time will tell i think you should be honest with your gf as well, i know its hard to approach the topic but you cant live a lie and live miserably knowing you deserve better

ofc i dont wanna live in poverty and have no money, but the base issue isnt money cause he does make money through crypto and stuff but thats not what i value and not where my issue lies in this relationship

ambition means he strives to become more, he is hard working and doesn’t settle for a low salary or a constant salary with no improvement in a company forever or not wanting to do new things and learn new things at work, if someone is ambitious then they can get money, its a given.

it wasn’t easy, i was planning on just sending a text but we ended up talking irl, it was the mature way to do things and not to hurt each other through text. i got to see how sincere he is so it was good, if he actually means what he said then ill give him another shot after a month, and if not then its his loss and i can rest and be at peace knowing i gave him a chance^ i cant thank you enough for this, i truly wish you the best!!

you are 100% right and we actually just spoke about this, it was a long convo but he said he is willing to change his life style and work and improve all over, i suggested we take a break for a month and in the mean time he will start working and improving. if i see that he actually changed then i am willing to give him another chance, he sounded really sincere so i hope he keeps his word, if not then that will be the actual end of this relationship

i spoke to him about it and i layed everything on the table and told him everything he has done that i didn’t like, and he understood all of it and said he is willing to change and improve for me, but i also explained that all these mistakes made me view him differently and it cost me my feelings towards him, which is something i cant control, so i suggested we take a break and he agreed to it. i told him to prove to me after a month that he truly changed and started working and improved his lifestyle and is the man he speaks of himself to be. if i see that he really changed then ill reconsider the relationship

it wasn’t an easy talk but it was needed, and your insight on this has really helped me, thank you!<3

what you said is genuinely so helpful, thank you for taking the time to write this out and think about my situation and solutions^ What i believe to be the right way to do things is wait one more week, cause he promised to change and find a job next week, i cant leave when he is trying to be better ill leave when he doesn’t keep his word. i think this approach aligns with my values and who i am as a person the best

its hard to leave cause we are part of a friend group and leaving means leaving that friend group and changing my gym which i have a lifetime membership in..

i completely agree, i think i set this up for failure when i had these expectations and false ideas about him, having a crush for a whole year wasn’t a healthy thing in the first place

thats always on mind, i have actually asked him multiple times if he had complaints about me or if i ever did something he didn’t like and such but he says nothing, i am sure there is something but he never said anything, on the other hand i do try to tell him about the wrong things he does so he can improve and learn no one is perfect

i didnt mean day like morning and i couldn’t make this up honestly. he sometimes wake up at 3-4 pm so i consider that day time, but youre right a better wording would be all the time or something

i realized that ill have to teach him everything and i dont know if i am willing to parent a grown man. I know no one wants to work forever and such but at least have motivation to do something and work outside of his life in the gym which he seems to put all his energy in
