P told me last month we were over.
We'd been through a few weeks of strain, last year we had months of strain but sorted it out so i thought.
We agreed to try living together but apart so dd has us both around, he explained to dd that he was in spare room as sometimes friends dont get on when theyre too close/togetjer all time so he said weve moved a bit apart and its better.

Dd seems fine, he seems fine, i am not.
One minute were all out for lunch laughing and joking then dd goes to bed and were in separate rooms watching tv.

I still love him. He said at the time he didnt love me anymore, then that he didnt know how hed feel in future but didnt want to lead me on making me think there was hope.

Im not begging, am trying to get through each day without cracking up, im crying at the end of every day then when im asleep im dreaming about us, sometumes nice dreams that we work it out so upsetting, mostly nightmares where hes repeating he doesnt love me or im hitting his as ive found thingd belonging to another womsn.

Im not coping very well, am very unsettled and scared and i miss him so much.
These dreams are clouding my judgement as im doubting him and misinterpreting signals.

Sorry to moan, am just a bit lost x

Sorry but hes not having an affair, relationships breakdown for many reasons not just that.
But hyperthetically (sp) it would make anyones descision easier in this situation.

Im hoping to speak tonight to discuss how it going but i just cry like a soft touch snd often cant express myself properly.
I want to talk about where we are/arent going and next steps either way.

I would suggest that you get yourself some counselling, maybe from RELATE. Does anyone in RL know what is going on?

(I am totally not surprised you feel as if you are going mad, it is an intolerable situation.)

He has refused counselling but i definatly think i need it if nothing else. Am already going to doc friday, ill ask them too

Just a thought OP - when things were functioning before the 'split', did he ever make you feel shit about yourself? I mean really shit, worthless? What was the quality of your relationship before he did this horribly cruel thing?

This living arrangement is far more likely to fuck your DD up then if you just split.

What does he think he is playing at? He wants all the benefits of a relationship with none of the responsibilities? He can't have it both ways (well maybe he can if you let him).

Personally, if you really want to sort it out with him I reckon you would have more chance of that living apart than together like this. Right now he has what he wants doesn't he? A nice home, a nice family and his freedom to do what he wants.

What about what you want/need? Why is this all going his way?

He either stays or he goes (and it has to be him with your DD and your work needing the current home) but don't let him string you along in limbo like this for much longer, you will lose your mind.
