I hear you. I have been doing the same thing for years. It’s impossible to have a healthy relationship with someone who lives in denial of their unhealthy behavior. We have a choice to make. Are we going to continue to pretend that what is not okay is okay? From my understanding a person can only change their behavior after they are aware of it. For the victim to make them aware of it is dangerous. So, we can continue in the direction we are going, or we can change direction. We can decide whether we have value or not. I recommend that you start learning how to use boundaries to keep yourself safe. That has been invaluable for me. Hoping for a better future for you.

hello iceberg. welcome to the forum.

there is not a doubt in my broken brain that relationship burnout is real. near as i can tell, it happens in the healthiest of long-term relationships. we all have quirks and those quirks can get problematic over the course of time. 50 years into my recovery from child sex trafficking, it remains my reflex to end the relationship at the first sign of relationship burn-out, but i have had allot more love in my life since i learned to take a break in the relationship before i start burning bridges.

but that is me and every case is unique. relationships are even more unique.

steadying support while you sort what is right for you. hope healing happens here. welcome aboard.
