I have been around for a while but I have name changed. I have been with my partner for 10 years and we have two small children, one who has life limiting health problems. I have recently started to feel suffocated in this relationship and I feel like I have a third child, not a partner. He has a short fuse and is constantly shouting at the kids. There is no spontaneity or fun. He does not show initiative and is constantly engrossed in his phone or his hobby.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression but he has not once asked me about it. I feel like I am trapped and I’m desperate for a fresh start with the kids. I am under no illusion that being a single parent is easy but I want my children to grow up in a household of love, fun and laughter that will help them develop into well adjusted, empathetic, friendly adults.
Aibu to leave when things aren’t really awful?
