Okay so i been getting myself worked up all the time going round in my head about my relationship :(
We have been together 7 years but this year has been very rocky many downs and ups, we having arguments over his lack of spending time with me/dates/money. We spoke about it all and got back on track he stated making an effort things was improving, And now top it off he has gone on sick for depression ( he looks fine to me) anyway, I am not the one going to work he is at home and sleeps during the day when I return makes me angry. I am 27 and he is first long term partner.
Now the problem also is I developed a massive crush on a guy at work to point I am always thinking about him and we get on well/ have this connection/ butterflies. Bit part me thinks this is just me missing that feeling from years ago?
I'm not sure what to do? I love my boyfriend I'm not sure what response I want really?
I mean the thought of leaving him makes me upset I still want male us work and look forward being him, but then why am I crushing on another man will it go away? ( I know likes me too) x
I'm asking I Quess how know when a relationship is really over??

you're young, walk away. it will be hard and yes you will be sad but depression and mh health issues are often long term.
this is the reality, the past year wasn't great, no promise the future will be better.

You arent happy so you need to leave.

Actually, quite horrified by 'he looks fine to me' comment

The guy at work is a catalyst- you’re not happy, the relationship isn’t right and probably was never going to be.

For your own health and happiness you need to end it and spend some time getting to know you and what makes you tick and then see what kind of relationship you could have with someone else.

The depression he has could be a reaction to this relationship with you not being right for him too. Understandably after 7 years it’s hard to walk away so the sad/unhealthy feelings could be down to that frustration

Yep it will be hard, it’ll be upsetting for you both, but in the long term you’ll both be better off

Good luck!

You resent him and dont believe he is depressed. You fancy someone else. All massive signs its time to end it. What more signs do you want? It doesnt need to be a huge thing that ends it.
