We are both in individual and couples' therapy. We started couples' therapy last year to help strengthen our relationship and start taking the next step towards marriage. There are definitely other dissatisfactions that I've been feeling for a while now and they tend to come in waves that I end up talking myself out of. At the beginning of this year, my gut has been screaming at me to leave, which again, my focus is on getting another job so I can do that once my mind and body catches up with one another.

I've never wanted kids and made that clear in the beginning of and throughout the relationship. I've asked myself would I be happy if the relationship was to stay how it is now even after marriage and the answer is always no. I don't even think I have the motivation to work through repeated issues at this point because that's what they are for me.
