Things have been bad for some time, have posted in the past about this. DP Finally blurted out that we have to split, he wants to be on his own, can't live in MY house anymore (house is in my name because we were unable to get a mortgage with his him on it), he is walking in egg shells, can't watch what he wants on TV. The list goes on, basically the gist was life is too short and he feels he is not living a life and trapped by me and DS. Then in the next breath his is saying what a lovely person I am and does not want to hurt me. I know he has no money and I think that is the only reason he is has not moved out. I have a 20 year history with this person and DS, life would be pretty tough on my own. I am really confused about his contradictions, 1 minute wanting to work things out next minute telling me he does not want to carry on because hates his life, I just don't understand him anymore. I feel angry and confused and sick to my stomach right now. Told him to fuck off I think I deserve better than this, he agreed, he just does not appear to have any emotion. "Can't we just be friends I knew you would be like this" I just wanted to smash his face in. Sorry for rant .Wish I could think clearly.

So sorry. It does sound like there's someone else from all your threads, all the texts and now saying he wants to leave but then saying how lovely you are. Been through all that and there was another woman. Stay strong

Also fwiw I wouldn't want to remain friends just yet either, that's up to you

I glad many of you have made me feel that I am not being unreasonable about the friends thing, he just not seem to care, that actually really hurts. I actually feel like packing his things and leaving on the doorstep see of that gets a reaction.

I think you might be confusing love with co-dependancy.

You could talk to someone in RL - a counsellor. In fact I'd take these threads to one, so that he or she could hit the ground running, because I have a feeling that if you went to see one, you'd hold bits back because what you actually want is someone to say "It's okay, you CAN stay with this man, he really DOES love you, you CAN fix him"

But you shouldn't, he doesn't and you can't.
