When to call it a day?

I have no one to talk to in real life and need to get my thoughts out of my head.

I have been with DP for 6 years. Out sex life has dwindled and I’m feeling increasingly dissatisfied with my life.

We recently moved for DPs job and I hate living here but he’s happy.

He can go from being really lovely and sweet and affectionate to being cold, snappy and argumentative. Nothing I do right - ie I’ll put a load of washing in and he’ll moan it’s on the wrong setting.

I feel anxious when he comes home from work not knowing if he’s going to be cuddly and clingy or snappy and miserable.

I’m finding him increasingly unattractive - keep catching him picking his nose or he’ll fart whilst we’re in the car and trapped.

I feel like a want to leave and go back to my mums but I am currently unwell and feel like I wouldn’t be able to find anyone else.

Has anyone left in a similar situation or made a plan to leave?

Can you take a week and go back to your Mum's? Have some head space.

sounds like not finding anyone else is the better option rather than staying with someone you are deeply unhappy with

It is time, when you have to ask 'is it time?'.

Go to your mums. Even if you don't find anyone else, it's better than this twat.

How old are you both?

No children? I'd go to my mum's right now.

I could go back to my mums but I don’t know if it would help.

I have depression and don’t know if at the moment my feelings are the cause or the result.

Up until about 3 months ago I was fine and content but this has suddenly hit me like a tonne of bricks.

So tell him it's a temporary measure but get yourself away and let your mum look after you.
