Bit of background: I’ve been with my partner for 2 years. He moved in a year ago. Out first six months together was quite turbulent as I discovered he has been sleeping with someone else in our first couple of months. He’s 18 years younger than me and I’m 47.
We’ve mostly been happy and in love. We get on very well, laugh a lot but something just isn’t right. I don’t know what it is or why but I just have a feeling. It’s driving me mad.
The lies and the issues at the start did unearth a very turbulent childhood of mine (that I haven’t dealt with) as my stepfather abused me and bullied me.
We’ve talked a few times about splitting up, having a break and we did have a one week break but I just couldn’t say goodbye at the end of it. But the feeling remains.
My close friends and family know the issues and they say to go with my gut. But I love him dearly but I’m getting more and more tired and stressed by not knowing what is wrong.
Any advice?
Thank you. X
