but don’t really like them anymore what do you do? I don’t want to go into detail but it has been years of little things that have become bigger for me lately. Would therapy help? I often consider ending it but I’d miss him so much.
Sorry for the weird post but I feel so messed up.

You can love someone but remove yourself if the person or situation is harmful to you.

Are you sure it's love or attachment?

It's not harming me, just makes me unhappy

You can respect some one you don't love. You can't love someone you don't respect.

I split with my partner last year. I didn’t like him either, nor did I respect him. It made me very unhappy, I was constantly miserable, for a very long time.

I actually don’t miss him, but I do miss the familiarity of the relationship, it’s habitual.

I don’t know how old you are, but I would move on as soon as you can. If you don’t like him, you can’t love him, so best to let him go and you can both have some happiness.

Good luckFlowers

I think therapy would help you, go and talk through the issues and it will help you clarify what you want to do.

Unhappiness IS harmful.

I've just posted something similar, but I don't know the answer

*As much as you possibly can, stay away from things/people that make you unhappy and move towards or stay with things/people that make you happy.

I guess deep down I know the answer is to end it but the thought of that makes me unhappy too.
