Relationship is crap. I dread seeing him. We have little in common these days, physical attraction for me has gone and there is no future. Since having these thoughts I've been trying to pluck up the courage to say it to him but always back out, feeling that it's not the right time. I've just been thinking however and I'm starting to think he KNOWS and is purposely trying to make it difficult.
All of a sudden he's bringing me chocolates almost everytime he comes to see me. He never used to do this. He's making plans for important dates such as new years eve (knowing that we'd have to book this now) and boxing day. He's just bought my kids a little christmas present (we said we wouldn't buy each others kids presents) and he's suddenly bought me loads for christmas despite us having a strict £20 limit on each other.
You could say he's just being nice but something is telling me he KNOWS and is doing what he can to make me feel too guilty to do it (yes he'd be fine being in a relationship knowing that the other person didn't want it).
Everytime I prepare to tell him, he'll do something else "oh btw, before you speak here is a huge bouquet of flowers I bought you! oh and I got you another christmas pressie today!!"
Am I being paranoid? does he know? is this just another example of him controlling?? He's skint so I do feel guilty finishing with him when I know he's bought me loads of stuff. But then again, I feel guilty taking it when I know I want to finish with him!
