After four years with my partner I am ready to call it a day.
To be honest I've just had enough of him not acting like a grown up. The main thing being that he will not get a proper steady job!
I'm a single parent , I had my son at 21 and have been financially independent since. I'm now starting to claw my way up the career ladder after having to put it on hold.
I'm earning 40k a year, we do not live together, however he stays over a few times a week.
He doesnt pay a regular nominal amount despite mentioning more than once. As far as I'm concerned my money is to support myself and my child. I feel thst he is just taking advantage as I can afford it!
I just feel like our paths are now heading in the same direction.
In the next few years I want to get married and have another child.
Despite him making the correct noises and agreeing his actions do not match. I feel like his mother and I hate it!
I will not have another child unless married, and that has been a non negotiable.
So now at 34 I feel like it's time I end things.
But how can I do it in the least hurtful way? We have been friends for 19 years and I know that he adores me.
