Having the conversation

[Loumayb]

Some advice please.

I am realising that I see my relationship more of a friendship. We do not have a sex life, it is hard work to get him motivated, I love him but dont feel like I am in love with him, I feel like I have to manage his moods and exhausted with his constant pain issues. I feel bad that I feel this way and I am scared that he will do something bad to himself if I break up with him.

We have a 7 year old boy, who craves his attention, however he is not very attentive to him either.

I feel a trial separation is needed so we can both work out what we want but worried about who should stay in the house as I dont think he would want to leave it and I dont have anywhere to go or leave my son.

Any advice/suggestions would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks
Lou

Before you do anything, make sure you've got your ducks lined up, just in case he does take it badly.

Is there any way of doing a trial separation within the home? I know it's not the same but it's a start and is less disruptive for your child.
