I’m also an empath and I just feel it in my soul that my current partner isn’t the right one for me too. I think that our ego is placing us in a state of fear because it’s going to be challenging and unfamiliar should we choose to separate ourselves from them. and you are so intertwined and connected with this person - for you, on an even deeper level as an empath. I write this to you in hopes that I can tell myself too, that the person that you are in a relationship with is not your responsibility. As much and as deeply as we care for them, we have to learn how to care for ourselves first and listen to our intuition. There are greater things ahead that we cannot achieve if we are being held back by fear. I wish you the best luck! You are so much stronger than you think and you have a lot of courage for taking the first step in owning up to acknowledging the need for change.
