I think my relationship is over

Basically that.

I just feel like it's died. No spark, no fun. I feel like I can't break up with him because he has supported me through serious mental health problems sometimes to the detriment of himself (I know that's not a reason to stay with someone)

How do you know when it's definitely over?

What's the best/kindest way of breaking up with someone?

Help. Feel so lost.

I think you have to be honest, tell him how you feel, you don’t have to stay with him because he’s helped you out in the past. It’s not fair on him or you, you both deserve to be in a relationship where you both feel loved and wanted, it will probably be tough but in the long run it will work out for the best.

I agree with Moon the kindest way is to be honest about it.
I'm not really sure how you know for sure when its over because, for me, I was in a horrible relationship and I literally just got to the end of my rope.
The fact you're questioning it probably means it isn't looking good. Would you consider counselling or do you not even feel like trying?

No spark/Fun. Thats been my relationship with DH for past 5 years. We just drift along each day. He recently said he wanted us to seperate so I moved out with DD's. Still not sure why I did. I think I knew it was the end and couldnt see myself staying. In saying that I have asked him if its worth another go but he's built a wall around himself. Trying to sort finances at the moment but its tough

@crappyday2018 I don't know about counselling, I hadn't though about it as an option to be honest. Ive been holding on because I don't know whether I'm unhappy in the relationship because I'm unhappy in other areas of my life or the other way round.
