I’ve been with my current partner just over two half years. Before I met him I had suffered many miscarriages, which led to the breakdown of my long term relationship, I was depressed, sucidal and I’ll. When we met, he told me he had 3 young children. I was wary of this and my friends said I was making a huge mistake, which cost me friendships. But I took the chance and since day one everything has been great.
We have separate houses, but we stay at mine every night. The children’s bedrooms are here, clothes, toys, you name it it’s here. My home resembles a family home. We have the children every weekend, which has just changed from every other. we do the usually family day outs, walks, swimming, football, homework etc. all of which I’m a huge part. I collect them from school, and generally treat them as they are my own.
We both work full time, and we have a business we run together. We never argue about serious things, there is always the odd bicker of who’s turn it is to do the bins etc. but nothing so serious.
Yesterday my partner turned round to me and said he isn’t romantically in love with me anymore, and that he’s been trying for months, but can’t do it anymore. Although he still loves me, and cares for me.
This has shocked me, and upset me. We was just about to move home, to where the area he was from. My family unit is being taken away from me, just like that. I don’t know what to do? He says he may just need a break, but then he doesn’t know. I’ve had to take time off work, as I can’t deal with the questions right now, I feel ill. I hate being at home, because everywhere there’s something to remind me of him.
Sorry for the long winded post, I just needed somewhere to speak, as mentioned at the start most of my friendships have been compromised because of the decision I took.
Do you think it’s worth fighting for?
