I say gradual, but obviously everything is magnified at the moment and it feels like I've hit a wall and realised I can't do "the rest of my life" with my DP.
I might feel differently tomorrow but in honesty, these moments have been happening more often.
Here's the thing. I don't want anyone else. I really cannot be arsed with future romance and adventure but this tells me I'm only staying with him so I'm not single.
For info. I'm nearly 50 (htf did that happen), 3 teenagers (to exH) , biggish mortgage and poor ambition, career-wise.
I know he'd settle and stay for comfort.
I just fee "uurgh "
