I met my DP 5.5yrs ago through an online dating site. I wasn't sure if he was "The One" as such but we saw each other more and more frequently and just seemed to become BF/GF. It felt a little strange at first as he was suddenly just there, a stranger in my life who was now my partner.
We got on well, but I was never really sure about the connection as such, there was no buzz, no fireworks etc. But, I am late thirties and assumed that this wasn't really necessary at my age. We share a similar sense of humour and everything was fine. Nice. Not spectacular or grand. But good. I wasn't sure this relationship would last long but here we are almost 6 years on and we are still together.
My problem today is I'm not really sure wether I should be staying in this relationship. More and more recently I resent my partner, it's the small niggling things, if I bring them up he thinks I'm being silly and over sensitive. I often hate him and everything he says, resulting in an atmosphere you could cut with a knife. I've just realised it's just him, he wont change and there's nothing I can do about it.
I'm sorry I don't really know what advice I'm after, I'm just not sure what to do. I have no solid reason for splitting up, I'm sure he would have no idea I feel this way and would be shocked if I finished things but I'm not even 100% sure of the reasons myself.
