Im extremely unhappy in my relationship to the point I'm starting to become depressed. Dp and I have being together 16 years and have 3 dc. If i met him today, we wouldn't be a couple. We couldn't be more opposite if we tried. He's still the 23 year old i met 16 years ago. He acts like a teenager and hasn't matured where I have. Even though we are both parents to out DC he acts like he has no responsibilities. Going out when he wants, getting up when he wants, pretty much doing what he wants all the time. He told me leaving a relationship for being unhappy is a stupid reason and i must have mental health issues.

You can end a relationship for any reason or no reason at all.

There is no law that says you need to stay in an unhappy relationship OP.

Well, what other reason would you leave a relationship for?

Hi sorry I know this is am old thread now, I've just came across your post. Have you stayed or left? If stayed are u happy now? And if you left how did you do it?
I feel in the same boat right now, im so so unhappy with my partner. We've been together 15 years and have 2 young boys. Really similar situation tbh. He does whatever he wants and I'm never a 2nd thought to him. Don't get me wrong he works all week hard graft but I don't see any gain financially at all from this. He pays his private bills like his car finance etc and saves the rest . I pay the rent and bills. I can't cope much longer. I'm so unhappy
