Just split up. Please tell me I'm doing the right thing

Have been with my OH 6 years. We work together. Not married. Did live together but it didn't work. We went through an almighty shit show last year when we split up with much acrimony (too one of the family dogs, syphoned money from the business, slept with someone else).

I ended up giving him another chance but it's been a bumpy road. I've tried to forgive and forget but he has periodically behaved in ways that I've found unacceptable since we got back together and I've subsequently decided to call time on this relationship.

I suffer with a form of bipolar (relevant - cyclothymia) and my kids are getting older and making decisions not to go to their dad's on his weekends so I have very little 'downtime'.

OH has been quite bullish in his pursuit of my mental health issues being a major part of our problem but if I say that, I get told 'listen to yourself' and 'I've waited for you to recognise the problem. The only way I can get you to see what is wrong is by being brutally honest with you'.

I am an emotional mess. Please, can someone shed some light here.

I have told him our relationship is over, because regardless of my emotional/psychological problems, I'm sure our relationship problems are not just down to me. But I'm in pieces and feeling somehow that this is all down to me???

Business is in my name but he is very involved. Have sought legal advice and it's not cut and dried but you are absolutely right. I need to breath and move forward with a mature plan.

Sorry. Really a bit all over the place and not trying to confuse the situation
