I Need Your Help With My Signifcant Other. The Quandary That Tortures Me.

(Whoops, didn't see the second page.)

The last relationship I was in, was with someone who really didn't understand the concept of space.

We hit a period where I was so stressed with life and her, it just wasn't pleasant at all to be around each other. One evening we were talking about our relationship (arguing)...

I mentioned that I felt I needed some time to sort out my head (isolating).

Well, that went over about as poorly as I thought it would. Sigh...

That was the end of that relationship.

God it hurt, but I don't regret it now. It wasn't going to get better. I didn't want to see it, but that's the truth. I realised that I could have tried harder to fit her needs, but that's not healthy, I likely would have wound up resenting her. Or her me.

I'm not saying you should definitely leave. But keep the option open. Try to see past the immediate pain, at what it might look like to make that choice after the fallout has settled and life has resumed.

I get that you love her dearly but if you have to ignore the massive elephant in the room forever, do you feel like you could really just be fine with it.

I hope you are able to find a way to work out your relationship in a better way. But sometimes leaving is less painful than staying.

Not a fun place to be, best wishes to you.
