My ex and I split up in 2011 due to him running up huge debts and being a hopeless father. I got back with my teenage sweetheart and everything was wonderful initially. However, he is plagued by anxiety and it is ruining our relationship. I have urged him to seek help but he refuses. As a result we rarely socialise, sleep together or talk about anything other than his worries. I feel like I am always under immense pressure to raise my 2 children alone, work full-time as well as act as his emotional crutch. It has got to the stage where I feel that I should end this relationship and move on. However, I don't want to fail again at another relationship. Also, I am really scared of being alone, who wants a single parent woman in her mid 40's?
Please advise, part of me feels like I should battle on with him, whilst part of me really wants to start again and hopefully meet someone.
